Sardasht border residents made enemy kneel down

Commander of Islamic Revolution Guard Corps (IRGC) said in his commemoration message on 26th anniversary of Sardasht chemical bombardment that the brave, resistant border dwellers of Sardasht made enemy kneel down.

According to the IRNA, Brigadier General Mohammad-Ali Jaˈfariˈs message reads, ˈJune 28th, 1987, is the symbol of resistance of the cities and villages which were several times invaded beastly by the enemy, using chemical weapons, as the residents of them were witnesses to being silenced of their beloved ones before their eyes.ˈ
The message refers to the enemy’s broad-scale chemical bombardments, particularly during the last years of the Iraqi-imposed war, putting on display the enemy’s beast-like nature, adding, ˈThe Baˈthi enemy’s taking vast scale advantage of chemical weapons during the imposed war against civilians in cities and villages left some eight thousand war disabled victims in Iran, and the western villages and cities had the greatest share in this respect.ˈ
He referred to Sardasht as the ˈsymbol of residenceˈ in confrontation with such grave crimes, adding, ˈSardasht is the first country in the world that was subjected to chemical bombardments and although the enemy tried hard to delete it from the memory of history, it would be remembered for good.ˈ
Elsewhere in his message, he says, ˈToday we are witnesses to the enemiesˈ various hatched plots in numerous crisis-hit regional countries in which the Muslims are massacred in chemical bombardments.
The IRGC commander general has ended his message arguing, ˈThe era for brutalities and unilateral wayward moves in the world is over and the by grace of Almighty Allah and His help, as well as the guidance and leadership of the Leader of the Islamic Revolution, and the backing of the brave Iranian nation, we would never permit the occurrence of similar events as the Sardasht, June 28th disaster, and would return the bitterness of the enemy’s crimes, before their any effect, to themselves.ˈ
