Iraq Swords Of Kadesia, Victory Arch, Baghdad, Iraq
"Swords of Kadesia," also known as "Victory Arch in Baghdad," was a symbolic monument in Baghdad, Iraq. It was an iconic triumphal arch constructed to commemorate the end of the Iran-Iraq War in 1989. The arch stood as a testament to Iraq's victory in the conflict, named after the historic Battle of al-Qadisiyyah in the 7th century. It represented a significant milestone in Iraq's history, symbolizing the nation's strength and resilience. However, it's important to note that my information is up to date only until September 2021, and there might have been further developments or changes related to this monument beyond that time.
