Comment
The Battle of Khorramshahr, a crucial phase in the Iranian-Iraqi War, lasted from September 22 to November 10, 1980. Battles were often fought house-to-house, floor-to-floor, and room-to-room. The city was seized by the Iraqi Army and remained in Iraqi hands until April 1982, when the Iranians launched Operation Beit ol-Moqaddas and recaptured the city. Khorramshahr was one of the primary and most important front lines of the war and has thus achieved mythic status amongst the Iranian population.Interesting fact
The 500 Rials (Khorramshahr) coin from Iran, minted in 2011, features a unique design that commemorates the 200th anniversary of the city of Khorramshahr. The coin's design includes an image of the city's famous bridge, which was built during the Qajar dynasty and has become a symbol of the city's rich history and culture.
