1980 Iranian surprise airstrike in Iraq
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.
