Operation Karbala 10 was a joint effort by
Iran and
Kurdish PUK rebels in
Iraq.
Wanting revenge after their failed attempt to
besiege Basra, the
Iranians launched Operation Karbala 10 in northern Iraq on 14 April. They wanted to show the Iraqis the strength of their army, however the Iranians supported by a few thousand
PUK Peshmergas succeeded to capture the outskirts of
Sulaymaniyah and
Halabja and succeeded in taking very minimal square kilometres of insignificant lands around them.
