Funeral ceremony of 270 martyrs of Iran-Iraq war in Tehran
Iranians follow a truck carrying coffins towards Tehran's Baharestan square on June 16, 2015 during a funeral procession for 270 martyrs of the Iran-Iraq war (1980-1988) (175 of them belonging to a group of military divers), a month after their bodies have been repatriated in Iran.
The divers were responsible for breaking the enemy lines during an operation in 1986 with the aim of taking Basra in southern Iraq, but the operation was discovered by the Iraqi army that killed a large number of Iranian military and made others as prisoners.
