This article presents a case study on Operation Fath Ol-Mobeen, which took place in the context of the Iran-Iraq War that began in 1980. The operation was a major counter-offensive launched by Iran in 1982 to regain the oil-rich region of Khuzestan from iraqi military forces. The theme focuses mainly on the role played by Air Power during the operation, offering a detailed view of the geopolitical context, the structure and strategies of the air forces involved and the crucial events that led to the results of the operation, favorable to Iran. In order to avoid the possibility of subjectivity of speculative character in the analyses, the study was based on facts and evidence collected from historical and documental research, which include in each partial conclusion, summaries and condensations of the matter studied. In its prescriptive part, it concludes with important lessons extracted from the operation, which are vital for the improvement and preparation of air forces in scenarios of interstate armed conflicts, notably regarding the efficient use
of its capacities in a dissuasive perspective, instead of punishing the adversary as a strategic option to avoid an escalation of the armed conflict and its prolongation due to attrition.
