Timeline

1980

Sultan served in the Iraqi Army during the 1980–1988 Iran–Iraq War and later in the Persian Gulf War, signing the ceasefire that ended it.

He survived several purges and became the highest-ranking general in the Iraqi Army.

He was regarded largely as a figurehead in the Iraqi military without any amount of real control.

1995

Considered one of Iraq's most competent military commanders, he was appointed to the position in 1995.

During his over 30 year military career, Sultan commanded two brigades, three divisions, and two corps of regular army corps before assuming responsibilities as Minister of Defense.

2003

As the invasion of Iraq loomed, it was reported in The Guardian in February 2003 that Sultan had been placed under house arrest by Saddam Hussein, in a move that was apparently designed to prevent a coup.

He criticized Qusay Hussein’s handling of the Iraqi Republican Guard, saying Qusay “knew nothing [about commanding military].

He understood only simple military things like a civilian.

We prepared information and advice for him and he'd accept it or not.” Nevertheless, he continued to appear on Iraqi state-run T.V., to preserve a sense of normality.

Sultan was number 27 on the United States' list of most wanted former Iraqi officials.

On 19 September 2003, after nearly a week of negotiations, he gave himself up in Mosul to the 101st Airborne Division (Air Assault).

Dawood Bagistani, who arranged the surrender to Maj. Gen. David Petraeus, said Sultan was handed over "with great respect" and was with his family at the time.

Bagistani said the U.S. military had promised to remove Sultan's name from the list of 55 most-wanted, meaning he would not face indefinite confinement and possible prosecution.

"We trust the promise," Bagistani said.

Special treatment for Sultan al-Tai could be an effort to defuse the guerrilla-style attacks that were taking a toll on American soldiers.

Many of the attackers are thought to be former soldiers in Saddam's army.

Seeing their former military leader well-treated by the Americans might have encouraged them to lay down their arms.

2007

On 24 June 2007, he was sentenced to death by hanging for war crimes and crimes against humanity.

However his execution was not carried out because of public disapproval from Iraq's president Jalal Talabani.

2018

In May 2018, Iraq's Parliament speaker Salim al-Jabouri, requested a pardon for Sultan al-Tai alleging medical reasons.

He then was transferred from the prison in Nasiriyah to a prison in Baghdad.

2020

Sulṭān Hāshim Aḥmad Muḥammad al-Ṭāʾī (سلطان هاشم أحمد محمد الطائي; 1945 – 19 July 2020) was an Iraqi military commander, who served as Minister of Defense under Saddam Hussein's regime.

Sultan al-Tai died on 19 July 2020 from a heart attack in the Nasiriyah Central Prison.
