Iraq, Iran exchange remains of missing persons from the 1980s war
[Rudaw] Iraq and Iran
...a theocratic Shiite state divided among the Medes, the Persians, and the (Arab) Elamites. Formerly a fairly civilized nation ruled by a Shah, it became a victim of Islamic revolution in 1979. The nation is today noted for spontaneously taking over other countries' embassies, maintaining whorehouses run by clergymen, involvement in international drug trafficking, and financing sock puppet militias to extend the regime's influence. The word Iran is a cognate form of Aryan. The abbreviation IRGC is the same idea as Stürmabteilung (or SA). The term Supreme Guide is a the modern version form of either Duce or Führer or maybe both. They hate Jews Zionists Jews. Their economy is based on the production of oil and vitriol...
on Monday exchanged the remains of 45 individuals who had gone missing in the course of the eight-year-long war in the 1980s, the Iraqi defense ministry announced.

directorate conducted the exchange of the remains with the Iranian side in Basra province, under the supervision of the International Committee of the Red Thingy (ICRC).

"The remains of 35 Iranians found within Iraqi territory during joint search operations in the Basra, Maysan, Wasit, and Diyala regions were handed over to the Iranian side. The remains of ten Iraqi deaders were received in an official ceremony," read a statement from the Iraqi defense ministry.

The remains belonged to individuals who had gone missing during the eight-year-long war which saw the two neighboring countries pitted against each other between 1980, the year following the birth of the Islamic Theocratic Republic, and 1988. The war shaped the young theocracy and contributed to fueling antagonism against the US which supported former Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein’s forces in the war.

The remains of the ten missing Iraqis will be sent to Baghdad’s forensics medicine department for further examination, said the ministry.

Iranian state media, IRNA, published images of Iran's reception of the missing nationals' remains from Iraq, on the same day. Family and tribe members of soldiers killed in the war attended the reception ceremony.

Tehran and Baghdad in 2008 signed an agreement under the ICRC auspices regarding the exchange of information and handing over remains of missing persons during the war. The remains of hundreds of soldiers have been returned since then.
