The head of Iran’s Revolutionary Guard Corps has said that Iran’s stability today owes to the Iran’s defense of its borders during the Iran-Iraq war in the 1980s.
“The safety of the country today is the result of the sacred defense,” Major General Mohammad Ali Jaffari said of the Iran-Iraq war, which started in 1980 when Then-Iraqi President Saddam Hussein invaded the country. The war lasted until 1988.
