Tawakkul Operation (Persian: عملیات توکل) is the name of a military operation during the Iran–Iraq War[1][2][3][4] (in the general area of Abadan) which was launched by the regular Iranian Army and the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) in January 1981.
Armored divisions of the Iranian Army began the operation from two axes, and the Iranian infantry started from the third axis.[5] The commanders of Arvand military Headquarters who had the command operation, planned the to break the siege of Abadan (and likewise reclaim the area east of Karun River; and pushing the enemy back towards the international border of Shalamcheh and the Khin-river).[6]
