Tankerski rat 1984.-1988
Tanker War 1984-1988 Part of the Iran-Iraq war of the 1980s, the Tanker War attracted much international interest and some US intervention. With Iran blocking Iraqi exports of oil via the Shatt-al-Arab waterway the war against Iran was turning against the Iraqis. Syria closed Iraq& 39;s pipeline to the Mediterranean and it looked like economics would straggle the Iraqi war effort.
