Tehran (IP)- The meeting of the Leader of the Islamic Revolution with a group of veterans and commanders of the holy defense kicked off.

Iran Press/Iran news: The leader of the Islamic revolution, Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei's meeting with a group of veterans and commanders of the holy defense started a while ago.

A number of commanders and veterans of the Sacred Defense and the families of the Sacred Defense martyrs have met with the leader of the Islamic revolution at Imam Khomeini's Hussainiyah.

The meeting takes place as Iran marks an unexpected and surprise invasion of Iran by Saddam Hussein’s army on September 22, 1980. 

The war imposed by the Iraqi dictator Saddam's Baathist regime against Iran began 19 months after the Islamic Revolution's victory.

With the resistance of Iran's armed forces and people, the enemy was defeated after eight years, and the memory of the sacrifices remained in the Iranians' hearts and minds as the Sacred Defense.
