Iran marked the 45th anniversary since the Iran-Iraq war began with parades and memorials with the country's revolutionary guard issuing a warning to U.S and Israel against further aggression.
The Iranian revolutionary guard corps (IRGC) on Sunday issued a warning to the United States of America and Israel, stating tht any miscalculation or act of aggression could prompt a deadly response.
The anniversry which is known as 'sacred defense' is held annually and is typically marked with military parades, demonstrations of the country's armed forces and weapons readiness signalling Iran's preparedness for any military confrontation.
The war which lasted 8 years began on 22nd September 1980 when Iraq's then President Saddam Hussein invaded Iran, an incident which led to the loss of up to one million lives.
It began over territorial disputes, including control of the Shatt al-Arab waterway, and was also driven by Saddam Hussein’s aim to weaken Iran following the 1979 Islamic Revolution.
The eight-year conflict saw large-scale battles, missile strikes, chemical weapons attacks, and ended with a ceasefire and no major territorial gains.
While Iraq no longer commemorates the war following Saddam Hussein’s fall in 2003, Iran continues to ensure the conflict remains vivid in public memory.
The Iran-Iraq war left deep scars on both nations, with immense human and economic costs, and remains a defining chapter in Middle Eastern history.
