In 1981 the Islamic Dawa Party's suicide bomber attacked the Iraqi embassy in Beirut. Hezbollah carried out a bombing of the US embassy in April 1983 and the attack on US Marine and French barracks in October 1983 which brought international attention to suicide bombings.
But Iran rejected a cease-fire, demanding the removal of Saddam Hussein and compensation for war damage. Upon Iraqâs refusal, Iran launched an invasion into Iraqi territory (Operation Ramadan, on July 13, 1982) in the first of many attempts over the coming years to conquer Basra, Iraqâs second city and only real port.
