War victims

Decades after Iran accepted United Nations Security Council Resolution 598 and the Iran–Iraq war came to an end, its most dangerous remnants still lie hidden in the fields. The soldiers went back to their borders, but landmines cannot tell a soldier’s step from a child’s. Unexploded mines still claim victims. Even when a war is over, its ruins remain in people’s bodies and souls.
