8-year war due to powers' fear of Islamic Revolution impact

In March 2014, Ayatollah Khamenei paid a visit to the southwestern province of Khuzestan, where he said the annual trips to the former war zones is a flawless opportunity to relive the memory of Iranian soldiers' devotion to their country and commemorate the veterans and characters that played significant roles during the 8-year-long imposed war.

In the course of that war, Ayatollah Khamenei said, France gave its most advanced planes and helicopters to the Saddam regime, while Germany supplied it with toxic chemical materials.

The Leader further said worldwide powers imposed the eight-year war Iran with the aim of destroying the Islamic Revolution, but they failed to achieve this goal thanks to the Iranian youth's bravery, prudence and sacrifices.

"U.S. and European Union major powers, like Britain, France, Italy and Germany, all backed Saddam and helped him in every possible way".

The annual excursions are part of a broad cultural program in Iran to familiarize people, particularly the young generation, with the Iranian soldiers' bravery during eight years of imposed war under former Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein. "Over time, despite being involved in the war, Saddam's equipment multiplied", the Leader of the Islamic Republic stated, adding "the USSR-which was anti-US then-stood with the USA on the war against Iran because USSR had many Muslim republics and the Islamic Revolution would remind those republics of their Islamic Identity".

"Those who are today attacking a certain group over the accusation of using chemicals, openly gave Saddam such materials for making bombs", the Leader said.

Hundreds of thousands of Iranians were killed in the Iraqi-imposed war and many more were affected by the chemical weapons like mustard gas that were used by the Saddam regime.
