On this day 43 years ago, on May 24, 1982 (April 2, 1982), Iran recaptured captured Iraqi soldiers 30,000 lost territories. Iranian artillery fire lit up the sky. On May 24, Iran declared one of the biggest victories in its two-and-a-half-year bloody war with Iraq. According to Radio Tehran, Iranian forces have recaptured the main cargo port city of Khorramshahr. If the report is true: it would mean that Iran has recaptured almost all of the territory occupied by Iraq. The Iranian report sent shockwaves through the Arab world, which has had different attitudes and positions within the Arab world during this war. Saudi Arabia and other major oil-producing countries, fearing that Iran's fundamentalist revolution would cross their borders, have moved to finance Iraq. Syria openly supports Iran and has provided it with Soviet weapons. These weapons became the key to Iran's victory in Khorramshahr.
