1980-1988: Iran's "Sacred Defense" Against Foreign Invasion & Occupation
This is an audiovisual documentary
in Persian. It is about the 4000-year-old nation known as Iran ("Land of Aryans"). Iran was formed around 4,000 years ago when the Aryan tribes of West & Central Asia united and created Iran "IR=AArya+AAn=place or Land"). Since the Capital of the union was located at Persepolis (in Persus [Pars] territory -- near the city of Shiraz), the Greek, Romans, and later Europeans continued to call "Iran" erroneously as "Persia" - even though Persia (Pars) is a part of Iran. Iran is pronounced as "EA-RUN." IT IS NOT "I-RAN." ITS PEOPLE ARE CALLED "EA-RUNI-ANS" THEY ARE NOT "I-RAY-NIANS." In 1936, Iran requested that all foreign nations call it "Iran" instead of "Persia."
During 1980-1988, the people of Iran
mounted what is known today as their
"Sacred Defense" against outright
foreign military aggression against
their nation. Even though at the time
and on the surface it appeared that
the former Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein was acting alone in conducting
his eight-year war of aggression against Iran, recently declassified
official documents obyained under FOIA (US-NSDD # 99, #114) show that US & UK were actively supporting Saddam in his war of aggression against Iran. US & UK supplied Saddam with technical support for his development of weapons of mass destruction and other materiel & strategic assistance such as providing his military with satellite data on exact locations of Iranian defenders. In 1982-1983 when the Iranian people began to take the initiative, destroy the advancing units of Saddam's military, and push the Iraqi Army units out of the sizeable Iranian territories they had captured & occupied, US & UK's assistance to Saddam drastically increased. On December 20, 1983, as Iraqi forces were losing grounds to Iranian defenders, Donald Rumsfeld, then special envoy of President Ronald Reagan traveled to Baghdad & met with Iraqi President Saddam Hussein. In a desperate move, Saddam began to use chemical weapons of mass destruction against advancing Iranians & Iranian cities. When Iran attempted to present credible evidence
of Saddam's use of chemical weapons
against its people and forces to the United Nations, the governments of US & UK blocked Iran's efforts to present its evidence at the UN and deceptively took the position that Iran did not have sufficient evidence to show that Saddam was committing such atrocities.
Evidence now shows that US & UK knew well that Saddam was developing chemical weapons of mass destruction since they had sold him the technical know-hows, raw material, & equipment. US & UK also knew well that he had used them. During the 1980-1988
Sacred Defense period, Iranians were subjected to numerous international
embargos initiated & maintained mostly by the United States & United Kingdom while Saddam enjoyed financial & military support of US, UK, and more than a dozen other nations. Iran, in its 1980-1988 "Sacred Defense" period had to develop and rely on its own military industry. As a result of their "Sacred Defense" campaign, the Iranian forces, while relying only on their own arms industry & those bought on the black market at exorbitant prices, not only destroyed and/or expelled the invaders out of their sacred land but later began to push into Iraq and captured significant
Iraqi territory. After having achieved
victory over Saddam's invading army
based on the relentless and fierce will of its defenders, Iran pulled
out of the captured Iraqi territory
on moral grounds & declared a cease fire.
