"Operation Dawn 2 (also known as Operation Valfajr-2) was an Iranian operation during the eight-year-long Iran\u2013Iraq War. This operation opened a new front in northern Iraq/Iraqi Kurdistan also known as \"the northern front\". Despite Turkish help, this region was Iraq's weak point during the war as the Kurds sided with Iran."@en . . "1983-07-22Z"^^ . . . . "*Tactical Iraqi failure" . "*Iraqi counter-attack fails" .
