TEHRAN (FNA)- A group of Iranian artists and writers traveled to Hiroshima to honor the victims of the 1945 US atomic bombing of Japan.
The Iranian artists and writers participated in the ceremonies marking the 70th Anniversary of Hiroshima A-bombing by the US at the end of World War II.
The Japanese translation of a book on Iranian chemical victims of the 1980-88 Iran-Iraq war was also unveiled in Hiroshima.
On August 6, 1945 US bomber B-29 Enola Gay dropped a four-ton uranium bomb codenamed Little Boy on Hiroshima. The explosion instantly killed an estimated 70,000 to 100,000 people. The overall number of fatalities exceeded 140,000. Three days later, in the morning of August 9, 1945 another B-29 bomber dropped a plutonium bomb on Nagasaki, killing 70,000 and razing the city to the ground. Over years the radiation sickness claimed another 152,000 lives.
