Iran Herald (IANS) Sunday 22nd September, 2013
Iran marked the 33rd anniversary of the Iran-Iraq war Sunday with President Hassan Rouhani saying that military achievements were serving as the deterrent tools at the hands of Iranian authorities.
The country's armed forces, the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) and the Basij militia voluntary forces, took part in the large-scale military parade to display the country's military power at the ceremony, Xinhua reported.
Iran's ballistic missiles, solid-fuel Sajjil missiles and other medium and short-range missiles, as well as electronic warfare equipment, were showcased during the parade.
The Iran-Iraq war, lasting from September 1980-August 1988, ended at a great cost of lives and economic damage to the two countries. Half a million Iraqi and Iranian soldiers as well as civilians are believed to have died in the war.
Addressing the ceremony, Rouhani said the military might of Iran is used as deterring tools and his country will respond firmly to any aggression.
"The Islamic republic and its armed forces are not a threat to the neighbours," he said, adding that those who violated the international regulations and compiled chemical and nuclear weapons are threats to the region.
