In April 1982, as the armed-to-the-teeth Iraqi forces had occupied vast areas of Iranian territory, the Iranian forces exercised a huge operation and liberated the border town of Khorramshahr. Among the Iranian soldiers captured during this operation were a number of teenage boys. An image Saddam used to undermine and cover his own failures in combat. In a strange act of propaganda, he visited the 23 Iranian teenagers and declared in front of the cameras that he’d release them unilaterally to return home as war was no place for kids. His decision created a huge challenge for the 23 young men.
