The Iran-Iraq War could have ended in June 1982. Instead, Khomeini prolonged the bloodshed for six more devastating years under the ideological banner of "The road to Jerusalem passes through Karbala."
It was never about defending the homeland or Iranian soil. An entire generation was manipulated by a relentless state propaganda apparatus. In an era without free press, satellite television, or digital media, state broadcasting worked round the clock to manufacture consent for endless conflict.
Any attempt today to rebrand this ideological slaughter as a "patriotic defense" is a deliberate distortion of historical facts.
