La primera batalla de Jorramchar fue una gran batalla entre Irak e Irán durante la guerra Irán-Irak en la ciudad de Jorramchar, provincia de Juzestán, Irán. La batalla tuvo lugar durante la invasión iraquí de Irán entre el 22 de septiembre y el 10 de noviembre de 1980 siendo una de las primeras de dicho conflicto. Conocida por su brutalidad y condiciones violentas, la ciudad es conocida por los iraníes como “Juninshahr”, que significa Ciudad de sangre.

Operation Scorch Sword was an Iranian airstrike on Iraq's Tuwaitha Nuclear Research Centre in 1980. Conducted eight days after the beginning of the Iraqi invasion of Iran, it was a surprise attack against the under-construction Osirak nuclear reactor, which was located 17 kilometres to the southeast of Baghdad and was widely perceived as a major asset for the then-ongoing Iraqi nuclear program. At dawn on 30 September, four Iranian F-4 Phantom IIs completed an aerial refueling near the Iran–Iraq border before flying into Iraqi airspace, where they deliberately climbed to a high altitude in order to be detected by Iraqi radar systems, albeit on a false course. Moments later, two of them peeled off and dropped to an extremely low altitude to avoid further detection and subsequently changed course for the Iraqi nuclear facility.
