An unheard story of the child soldiers of the Iran-Iraq war. September 2024 marks the 44th anniversary of the start of Iran-Iraq War. One key aspect of the conflict was the use of teenagers and even children by the Islamic Republic of Iran in front-line operations. Iranian leaders not only acknowledged their presence but often took pride in it. Due to international sanctions and internal inefficiencies, Iran adopted a human wave strategy, with a significant portion of its fighting force being young soldiers. This documentary, created by Iranian filmmaker Pegah Ahangarani for BBC Persian, delves into the untold stories of these child soldiers, featuring unseen footage and interviews.
