Fayegh Fallahi, who was injured in an Iraqi chemical attack during the 1980-1988 Iran-Iraq war, breathes with an oxygen tank in his home in Nowdesheh in Kermanshah province, 680 km (425 miles) southwest of Tehran July 5, 2008. High in remote Kurdish mountains, Iranian villagers still nurse ravaged eyes and lungs, 20 years after Iraqi poison gas attacks that went mostly ignored by world powers then siding with Saddam Hussein against Iran. That perceived hypocrisy continues to rankle in the Islamic Republic, now accused by the West of seeking nuclear weapons. Picture taken July 5, 2008. Reuters Pictures 16 months ago
