TEHRAN – An Iranian military commander has called on the Pentagon to declassify information regarding human losses during Saddam Hussein’s war against Iran (1980-88 Iran-Iraq war).

Seyed Mohammad Baqerzadeh, senior advisor to the chief of the Iranian Armed Forces, made the remarks on Saturday in a meeting with Peter Maurer, president of the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC).

General Baqerzadeh urged the U.S. administration to disclose the data that were transported from Iraq to the Pentagon to clarify the fate of those prisoners of war (POWs) who were martyred and buried, IRNA reported.
