Alexander Morzhitsky visits one of the least known military museums in the world – the Islamic Revolution and Holy Defence Museum in Iran

Something that Russia, China and Iran all share, in addition to being out of favour with some Western governments, is that they are countries that most people know very little about.

Iran also has what is perhaps one of the least known military museums in the world – the Islamic Revolution and Holy Defence Museum in Tehran.
