Last resting place for Iranian soldiers who died in the Iran-Iraq war.
But, as the name implies, the soldiers resting here are not just seen as victims of a brutal war. Much more, they are regarded as heroes who fought for a just cause and who died a useful death. The war was actually a quite convenient instrument for Ayatollah Khomeini to muster support for his new reign - he came to power in 1979. His importance for their battle becomes clear at nearly every tomb. While you can see the picture of a soldier on one side, you can see the face of Khomeini on the other.
