Iran Press/ Iran news: The text of Ebrahim Raisi's message reads: " August 17, 1990, is the anniversary of the return of the glorious veterans of war to the embrace of the Islamic homeland.
The coincidence of the anniversary of this proud return with Ashura is reminiscent of the path of the captives of Karbala followed by the dear veterans and their resistance and perseverance in the face of oppression.
Undoubtedly, the return of the honorable veterans and their release from the camps of the Ba'athist regime in Iraq was one of the most important and pleasant events of 1990 for the Iranian nation."

The veterans; these brilliant diamonds of the sacred defense showed the great meaning and example of faith and resistance and became a symbol of the stability of the great nation of Iran.
