#Iraq

October 30 marks the Day of Remembrance for all Victims of Chemical Warfare. Among all countries, the US not only has used chemical weapons against people and nature, but also it provided other states with means to produce chemical weapons who used them subsequently.

On 22 September 1980, the Iraqi Ba’thi regime started a protracted arm conflict with Iran with invading Iran’s western and southwestern provinces. The war lasted for almost 8 years. As a result of the war, hundreds of thousands of people lost their lives, many of whom were civilians.
