The head of the Social and Cultural Affairs of the Center for Studies and Planning of Tehran has said that the oral history of the capital of Islamic Republic of Iran will be documented.
Sobhan Yahyaee said, “The first phase of the documentation of Tehran’s oral history will start this year during which the identification of narrators, the areas of the main topics of the talks, and what will be narrated, will be registered. Unfortunately, many oral narrators of Tehran are not alive anymore and we believe that the more we delay the plan, the more we lose Tehran’s first-hand narrators. The oral history of Tehran will be documented in order to become merely a theme of research for many future studies. It can also be applied for the identification of the city’s identity. In this process, other organizations will cooperate with us. For instance, the National Library will help us in producing the documentary.”

After Operation Fat’h al-Mobin, we traveled to Kermanshah and visited Sar-e-Pol-e-Zahab before heading to Ilam. During Operation Beit al-Moqaddas, the 27th Brigade was still receiving support from the West. We maintained contact with individuals who had previously worked in Area 7 and were now leading the brigade. It was through these connections that I learned about Operation Beit al-Moqaddas.Memoirs of Hujjat al-Islam Reza Motalebi
Hujjat al-Islam Reza Motalebi is a cleric from Isfahan. Before the revolution, he was the imam of the Fallah Mosque – which was later renamed Abuzar Mosque. By his presence and efforts, Abuzar Mosque soon became a base for supporters of the Imam and the revolution. After the victory of the revolution, he played a role in uniting forces and maintaining political vitality in southwest Tehran.The Necessity of Receiving Feedback in Oral History
Whenever we engage in a task, we naturally seek ways to evaluate our performance — to correct shortcomings and enhance strengths. Such refinement is only possible through the feedback we receive from others. Consider, for instance, a basketball player whose shots are consistently accurate; should he begin shooting blindfolded, his success rate would rapidly decline, as he would be deprived of essential feedback from each attempt.
