President Rouhani visits disabled war veteran (PHOTOS)

The president said the patience of veterans such as Hossein Azadbakht serves as a lesson for members of the public and officials.

President Rouhani has dropped in on Hossein Azadbakht, a paraplegic veteran of the Iran-Iraq war who suffered severe spinal injury at the age of 18 almost 30 years ago.

At the meeting, the president said the patience of veterans such as Hossein Azadbakht serves as a lesson for members of the public and officials.

At the friendly get-together, Azadbakht said if he had been given an opportunity to choose his future path once again, he would have opted for the same thing: rushing to the defense of homeland and Islam.
