The Iran-Iraq War lasted approximately ten years ending in about 1989. One of our US warships was struck by a missile and nearly sunk, in the Persian Gulf. Sometime later, one of our US warships shot down an Iran/Iraq civilian airliner that appeared to pose a threat on the warships radar. In January 1991, Operation Desert Storm commenced. In February 1991 it ended. The Iraqi's had pulled out of Kuwate. Mission accomplished. In 2003 Operation Iraqi Freedom commenced. The operation's title probably still applies (officially), if so...operation on-going.
