The National Exhibition on Sacred Defense Achievements was launched on September 23 and came to an end on September 30 at the Islamic Revolution & Holy Defense Museum in Tehran.

The event coincided with annual ceremonies to mark the anniversary of the beginning of the eight years of Iraqi imposed war on Iran in late September 1980.

Shahrivar 31 in the Persian calendar (September 21 this year) is the beginning of the Sacred Defense Week in Iran when Iranians hold week-long ceremonies, including military parades and putting on display the latest achievements of the country’s defense industry, to honor the fallen soldiers and cherish the strength and resistance of the people during the eight years of war.

This year, Iran canceled a military parade due to the coronavirus pandemic.
