Agonous

In 1985 many great victories gained by Iranian forces. After they conquered Majnoon Island, they also captured Faw; the complicated operation to do the latter, got a huge reputation even outside of the region and it accounted as a major defeat for Saddam. In such a mood, as Saddam felt weak to overpower Iranian soldiers, he maliciously recourse to chemical bombs. The bombs did not target only the resistance lines, but they also perished some cities in Iran¬. Although Iraqi cities were under Saddam’s control, some of them did not stay exceptions and they received the same violent attacks. For these victims, war never came to an end and martyrdom was the only way to relieve from a long-lasting pain. Martyr Mohammad Ali Ranjbar was a soldier suffered from these attacks for his whole life. The first chemical attack nonplussed Iranian soldiers, as they had no such an experience before. After the attack, Ranjbar was drinking tea in the field. Mustard gas had entered his blood with that tea.
