According to Israeli intelligence which has been corroborated with British Intelligence, it was the Iranian's intentions all along to provoke an incident with Iraqi border forces, in order to gain justifications for their all out offensive.

Current Update on the Persian Gulf:

 

The Iranians have launched a successful invasion of the Persian gulf states, closing the straits of Hormuz, and in turn, Iran now controls 58% of the World's Oil Reserves.

In the wake of this, the UN Security Council unanimously approved the use of force to assist the gulf states of Iraq, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, UEA, and Oman, and immediately an international fleet was sent to keep the gulf from being captured. Several US, British, and French Vessels were trapped within the Persian Gulf, while the Majority of the battle fleet has formed a blockade and begun a rigorous bombing campaign hitting strategic Iranian Positions. 

In addition, Coalition ground forces have been struggling to reach the front due to the logistical nightmare & communications nightmare caused as a result of the surprise assault and planned assassinations of many of the Gulf State Shah's. Egypt & Jordan are being used as the key basing areas for UN Forces entering the theater, however Israeli ports and airfields have remained closed to coalition troops in order to gain the trust and assistance of over Middle Eastern States, further complicating the logistical nightmare. 

US Forces that were presently stationed in Bahrain and Qatar were overran within the first thirty-six hours of fighting; A large majority of the US Forces stationed in Kuwait and Oman strategically withdrew and were able to assist Saudi Forces in the defense of Riyadh, and continuing the defense of Northern Oman. 

The Situation in Iraq is much more complicated. With a limited US Force stationed in Ramadi, and our position 200 KM East of Mosul, on the Iraqi-Iranian-Turkish Border. Iraqi Government Forces were over run all across the line, allowing the Iranians to Seize both the Tigris, and up the eastern side of the Euphrates. The Iraqi army has completely collapsed along with their puppet government, which has been replaced with direct Iranian control. A large majority of the population has flocked to the Iranian cause and formed large Shia militias. Southern Iraq has fallen while the predominantly Kurdish, Northern Iraq has held strong during the Iranian onslaught. 

 

As of yesterday Morning, US Forces have recaptured the Iraqi city of Kakuk, and began the fight for Bagdad. The Iranian forces in the north have ceased their assault into Iraq, believing us to be too weak to mount and offensive, Iranian forces have moved south to reinforce their position along the Euphrates. In addition, Turkey has yet to lend any assistance to Coalition forces, and are currently bogged down engaging the same Kurdish Militias that have offered us their support. Relying on Turkish neutrality and believing our major offensive thrust to come through Baghdad & believing our northern Flank to be exhausted, we believe that the Iranians only have a token force guarding the passes into Zagros Mountains. 

A small but specialized Iranian force has been left to garrison our sector, with the majority of OpFor ground forces being made up of Iraqi Shia Militas. Our Objective today will be to launch an offensive, pushing the Iranians out Northern Iraq, in preparation for an invasion of Northern Iran itself. 

Last week Iranian forces captured Route Diamond, the MSR running through our sector, in addition to several key oil refineries in the Region. Over the past week, Iranian forces have set up several hardpoints to defend their positions on this route. Our Objectives today will include, recapturing the Masbah and Doura Oil Refineries, clearing, and reopening the northern half of Route Diamond, to allow for Coalition forces to travel north in preparation for our invasion of Iran proper.

Other Coalition Forces have joined the fray, and will be engaging other objectives within our sector. In addition Civilians have been evacuated from the villages along Route Diamond.

Notes from Commander:

  • All requests for Close Air Support/Medevac/Resupply/Insertion are to go to Mako 1-6 on FREQ 60.0. Mako 1-6 will contact Rattler 1-6 on FREQ 50.0 to request an asset to assist 1st Platoon as necessary. Once the asset is in the area of Operation for Mako 1-6, Infantry can contact the bird via CAS Net FREQ 45.0 to guide in the bird/direct close air support.
  • If an infantry element is in threat of being overrun and requires immediate assistance, they may declare a "Tactical Emergency" to Mako 1-6, who will then have Rattler 1-6 redirect all available air assets to Mako 1-6's Area of Operation to prevent the unit from being overrun.
  • Be sure not to stray too far off the planned & assigned path, due to the high probability of undiscovered minefields. 
  • Be sure to stay within 1st Platoon's area of operation, venturing off course into 2nd or 3rd Platoon's AO could result in blue on blue.
