IRNA – Remains of four Iranian soldiers' bodies were unearthed in eastern Iraq near the border with Iran, said an Iraqi authority.


Iranian search team could find bodies of four soldiers who were killed during Iraqi invasion of Iran, said Heidar al-Mandelavi.

He said that the Iranian search team will continue to look for other bodies in the area near the Iranian border.

He added that the team halted the operation on the occasion of the Iranian New Year (starting on March 21).

The team entered the area in February with the permission of the Iraqi government.
