By the end of 1980 Iraq's invasion of Iran
had degenerated into bloody stalemate all
along the front. Iran was able to mobilize
over two hundred thousand newly recruited
citizen-soldiers into their Pasdaran, and
both sides rushed additional regular army
troops and equipment to the front lines. The
Iranian military high command wanted to
await the end of the winter rains to launch
an offensive in the Spring that would drive
the Iraqi's out of Islamic Republic.
However, the Iranian clergy, that headed the
government, did not trust the lay and
military leaders, many of whom the clergy
suspected of harboring pro-Shah or
anti-fundamentalist adherents, and ordered a
more limited but immediate offensive in
early January. Dubbed Operation Nasr
(Victory), the offensive at Hoveyzeh sought
to break through and drive back the Iraqi
units that threatened the crucial city of
Ahwaz.
