The Battle of Mount Handrin, or the Mount Handrin ambush, was fought in 1966 during the First Iraqi-Kurdish war between Kurdish forces led by Mustafa Barzani and the Iraqi Army and pro-government Kurds between Rawandiz and the Iranian frontier. It was one of the most significant defeat suffered by Iraqi forces.
