Pictures From The Iraqi Imposed War (1980 – 1988)

[Harry]

Hello everyone:

I have some photos depicting scenes from the Iran-Iraq imposed war which I have been collecting for the past 3-4 years. Most of these are small, low quality and without any credits (photographer), dates or descriptions.

I will be posting them in this thread so, if you have any relevant & accurate information about any of these pictures, please feel free to post it. Also, if you have other or better quality pictures about this topic please post them in this thread.

The Administrators will eventually use these pictures to make an album.

My pictures are posted in no particular order. I have tried to categorize them very broadly into Citizen Defenders, Combat, etc. Any other pictures you have is greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

These pictures break my heart ... especially the first one. I am an atheist, but all I can think of saying is God bless them for their heroism and sacrifice.



Note that they are actually running TOWARDS the fire!
