With the entry of the Soviet Union into the war on the Allied side, the British and Russians moved quickly to ensure a supply line and prevent Iran from coming in on the Axis side.

The first stroke was an amphibious landing across from Basra, Iraq.Attacker: British (24th Brigade, 8th Indian Division)
