Iran
proudly paraded its military hardware in Tehran on Friday under the
gaze of President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, who used the event to again
defiantly lash out at the West and Israel. The display, involving
thousands of military personnel, tanks and missiles borne on trucks,
marked the anniversary of the start of the 1980-1988 Iran-Iraq war.
