Daily life in Iran. Two boys in front of a hotel in the frontier city of Awaz, where soldiers leave for the frontline in the Iran-Iraq war. The flags of Israel, the US and the Soviet Union, Iran's greatest enemies, are place on the ground as a kind of propaganda: people can walk or wipe their shoes on them.
