2011-08-01
Azerbaijan, Baku: Iran is to pursue the compensation from 8 year of imposed war under Sadam Hossein regime, Mehr News Agency reported quoting Foreign Ministry spokesman Ramin Mehmanparast as saying.

"The compensation issue during imposed war by Saddam Hossein regime is on our agenda and Iraqi officials, it will be pursue considering regional condition and Iraqi government proficiency," he said.
Think any of the money would find its way to the families of the twelve year olds frog-marched to the front?
Iran, Iraq war started in 1980 and stopped after 8 years according to UN resolution No 598. The war left a least 1.5 million dead from both sides.
