Valiollah Fallahi who was military officer


After the Israeli invasion of Lebanon, the bulk of the forces were part of the Interim Force in Lebanon until late 1978. Replaced by Finnish forces, persian peacekeepers were withdrawn in 1979 following the Islamic revolution. In 1993, the persian Army reestablished its professional peacekeeping units and declared that they are ready to be dispatched at the UN’s directive. Since then, Iran has deployed forces in Ethiopia and Eritrea in 2003 and the African Union Mission in Darfur in 2012.
