Iran’s armed forces have held military parades across the country on the first day of the Sacred Defense Week. That’s an occasion marking the start of an eight-year war imposed on Iran in the 1980s by then Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein. In the capital Tehran, the military parade was held at Imam Khomeini’s mausoleum.
