Operation Quds-1 (Persian: عملیات قدس-۱) is the name of a military operation[1][2][3][4] which was started on June 14, 1985 during the Iran-Iraq war. The operation was launched by the forces of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps of the Islamic Republic of Iran under the code name of "Ya Mohammad Rasoolullah" (Persian: یامحمد رسول‌الله) in the "Hur al-Hawizeh (Hawizeh Marshes)" operational zone which is located at the east of the Tigris River in Iraq. The goal of Quds-1 operation was to annihilate the Ba'athist forces in Iraq and in order to disrupt the cohesion of Saddam's army in the region; The size of the area was approximately one hundred and eighty square kilometers.[5][6][7][8][9]

At the mentioned operation,[10][11][12][13] which lasted for about 4 days, the forces of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (of Iran) captured two checkpoints, namely "Abu-Dharr" and "Abu-Laila"; and as a result, the Iraqi Ba'athist resistance was finished.
