The Iran-Iraq War (1980-88) was one of the bloodiest conflicts of the 20th century. More than 10,000 Iranians were reported missing in action in Iraq. Casualty figures are highly uncertain, though the numbers of dead on both sides ran into the hundreds of thousands. In Iran, people who were killed in the conflict were declared martyrs for their country, and therefore for Islam.Over 10,000 Iranian soldiers were reported missing in action, without a corpse being identified. Bodies are still being discovered and repatriated.
In recent years, 7,000 bodies have been found on the Iranian border
They were buried because of their lack of identity under the name "Anonymous Martyrs" . At present, the 5000 Iranian martyrs are still on Iraqi territory How often, some of them are finding and is brought to Iran .
