In the previous program we talked about the achievements and consequences of the great Bayt ul-Moqaddas operation. The operation was launched with the aim of liberating the regions which had been under Iraqi occupation since September 1980, especially the strategic port of Khorramshahr. With the completion of Bayt ul-Moqaddas operation and liberation of Khorramshahr almost all of the regions in the southwest of Iran were liberated. The operation changed the general nature of Iran-Iraq war.

In the previous program we mentioned some of the achievements of the great Bayt ul-Moqaddas operation. The most important and prominent achievement of this operation was the change of politico-military equation in the war and the Persian Gulf region in favor of the Islamic Republic of Iran.

In the previous program we talked about the 4th and last phase of the great Bayt ul-Moqaddas operation. In this operation, Khorramshahr was liberated after 575 days of occupation by the Iraqi Baathist forces. The heroic and exemplary 34-day resistance of defenders of Khorramshahr before the fall of the city with literally no weapons or equipment became eternal in Iran’s history.

In the previous program we talked about the second phase of Bayt ul-Moqaddas operation. In this phase of operation, commanders and designers of the operation achieved all of their objectives with the bravery of thousands of Iranian young volunteer (Basiji) forces. Immediately after the end of the second phase of this great operation, the third phase began to deal further blows to the tottering Ba'athist enemy.

Let us continue the account.
