On the first days of the Persian New Year (1398), Iranians in various provinces were encountered with flood. The number of casualties were not significant, however, many houses were destroyed and many towns covered in mud. From the early hours of the crisis, besides organizations in charge, swarms of volunteers rushed to help the victims. This sympathy and enthusiasm to help compatriots reminded Iranians of the Sacred Defense Era when Iranians fought back against Saddam regime for 8 years. (Courtesy Khamenei.ir)
