PersianWar 95 min 1998

During the Iran-Iraq war, a diving unit is assigned a critical mission: to infiltrate the Iraqi islands of Um Al-Rasas and Mahi. Their objective is to identify a suspicious location that is believed to be a hidden storage facility for Iraqi chemical weapons. In a bid to divert and distract the Iraqi forces, they embark on a covert operation to infiltrate the area.

The Iranian divers manage to enter the region and initiate a large-scale attack, all while Iraqi forces are misled by diversionary tactics. Their goal is to ascertain the existence of the chemical weapons depot and gather vital information to aid the Iranian war effort.

As the mission unfolds, an influential Iraqi general, responsible for safeguarding the chemical weapons depot, becomes aware that what he considers his “hidden treasure” on the island has been compromised. He is convinced that Iranian forces have violated the security of this vital facility and is determined to strike back to defend it, setting the stage for a high-stakes and intense confrontation in the midst of the Iran-Iraq war.
