550 air raids on Kharg Island… and not one of them worked.
95% of Iran's oil is exported through Kharg. Saddam's Baathist army — the same regime that dropped chemical bombs on civilian cities — hit that island around 550 times during the Iran-Iraq war. The result? Nothing.
Why? Because Iran's skies were held by an air force standing a hundred steps above Iraq's. We had Tomcats. The F-14 — a fighter jet that, in the entire world, only the United States and Iran ever flew.
And this isn't our claim. Read the memoirs. Read the books Iraqi pilots wrote themselves: "We would fly out to attack…"
Critical infrastructure that survived eight years of the harshest war wasn't saved by slogans. It was saved by a professional military and a real air defense doctrine.
Save these numbers. Keep the receipts of history.
