Coalition Air Assault Against Iraqi Defenses

January 13th, 1993 32 years ago

U.S. Air Force, Navy, RAF, and French jets targeted anti-aircraft and surface-to-air missile sites in Southern Iraq as part of Operation Southern Watch. This mission aimed to enforce the no-fly zone established after the Gulf War and to deter Iraqi hostilities against neighboring countries. The airstrikes demonstrated the coalition's resolve in maintaining regional stability and protecting U.S. interests in the Middle East.
