Commemoration ceremony held for Sardasht chemical bombing martyrs

On Saturday, June 28, a commemoration ceremony titled 'Burnt Breaths' was held at the Melal Cultural Center in Tehran to honor the martyrs of the 1987 chemical bombardment of Sardasht, a city in northwestern Iran. The event coincided with the anniversary of the attack, which occurred during the Iran-Iraq War. The ceremony brought together survivors, families of victims, and officials to remember the tragedy and highlight the ongoing impact of chemical weapons. Sardasht was one of the first cities to be targeted with chemical weapons, resulting in numerous casualties and long-term health effects for survivors. The use of chemical weapons in the attack has been widely condemned as a violation of international law. According to Mehr News, the ceremony served as a reminder of the horrors of weapons of mass destruction and the need for global efforts to prevent their use.
