Persian Push – Battle of the Persian Gulf
The date is December 27, 1984. Chaos reigns in the Persian Gulf as neutral merchant convoys frantically attempt to escape the escalating conflict. Iraq’s navy, reinforced by two outdated Gearing-class destroyers supplied as foreign aid, patrols the region in a desperate bid to maintain control. Meanwhile, Iran’s naval forces mobilize to strike a decisive blow and assert dominance over these vital waters. The Gulf’s congested waters amplify the stakes, as neutral convoys navigate perilously close to the unfolding battle. Precision will be required to cripple the Iraqi fleet while avoiding unnecessary destruction of neutral vessels. This engagement is a turning point for control of the Persian Gulf—success will ensure Iran’s supremacy, while failure will leave the region contested.
