Attention is returning to Operation Kaman 99, the large-scale airstrike Iran launched against Iraq in September 1980 in the opening days of the Iran-Iraq War. Iranian F-4 and F-5 aircraft targeted Iraqi airbases and infrastructure in a bid to cripple Saddam Hussein's air power early in the conflict.
