Operation Dawn-10 or Walfajr-10[4] (Persian: عملیات والفجر ۱۰) was a large offensive launched by Iran against Iraq on March 15, 1988, near the end of the Iran–Iraq War. Led by the Pasdaran and supported by some regular army forces, the five-phase operation marked a shift in Iranian focus from from southern to northern Iraq.[4]
