Martyr Andarzgou was in contact with the militant clerics group in Iran, and he completely knew and was friend with some members.
He told me about the situation inside the country and then about Iraq and Najaf. He was very hopeful about the victory of the revolution and popular struggles under the leadership of Imam Khomeini. He had some plans and said that he had come to Syria to provide weapons. He ordered different weapons, from side-arm guns with a silencer to automatic weapons like the U.S machine gun.
Mr. Jalaluddin Farsi[1] was responsible for supplying such orders and I, as a go-between, should receive, carry, and deliver the weapons. Martyr Andarzegou’s orders were prepared with many efforts and I handed them to him in his residence, which was a secret and safe houses in Syria.
Piety and vigil were seen in the face of martyr Andarzegou and his behavior and actions were dignified and respectful. But this all was a small part of his personality traits, and his great and transcendental thoughts were hidden. When I saw him with that thin but agile body, like a piece of flesh, in the corner of the room and I heard his crying and prayers in prostration state at night, I shook how much I’m behind with light caravan....
Martyr Andarzegou was interested in helping us. One day I told him, "We don’t find any lump sugar here and we have problem for drinking tea." [It is custom in the Syria to sugar tea.] "Don’t worry; I make lump sugar for you right now." He said. Then he got up and first boiled some water. Then he dripped some boiling water into a plate of sugar to moisten it. Next, he began to knead and made lots of lump in the size of hazelnut. At the end, he put them under sunlight to dry. Therefore, he made a lot of lump sugar for us. This martyr Andarzegou’s move was very interesting to me. He was not ignorant of such minor things, although he was very busy and he had great plans to be accomplished.

[1]. Jalaluddin Farsi was born in 1934 in Mashhad. He met Dr. Shariati when he studied in the first year of high school. His secondary school coincided with the peak of the struggles of the Iranian people's movement and the two-year period of Dr. Mossadegh’s government. He participated in the rally and struggles of the nationalization of the Iran oil industry movement. In 1955, Farsi traveled to Iraq secretly to be familiarized with July 14 Revolution of Abdul Karim Qasim in Iraq, and with the changes of Abdel-Nasser's revolution. He was arrested by Iraqi agents and after he released, he went to Syria. He was arrested and imprisoned in Ghezelqaleh when he returned to Iran. He was released in October 1962. During 1965-1969, with collaboration of Dr. Bahonar and Dr. Raja'ee and Dr.Beheshti, Farsi made great efforts in organizing and political developing of Imam Khomeini’s movement. And during 1963-1970, he published some valuable revolutionary works, including a treatise on evolutionary revolution of Islam. In those fearful years, he held many lectures in the youth guidance center and universities of Shiraz. But SAVAK shut down the center because of his speeches.

The book From Deck to Heaven offers a relatively fresh approach to examining the role of the Islamic Republic of Iran Army Navy (AJA) during the eight years of the Sacred Defense, published under the “Oral History of the Islamic Revolution” series.

I wanted to celebrate the new year with my family. Together with two relief workers I boarded buses designated for transporting the wounded to Choubideh and received our mission orders. We waited for a helicopter to take us to Bandar Imam Khomeini. I was stationed near the helicopter’s touchdown zone and was slight in build. As the helicopter was about to land, I could not steady myself; the breeze generated by the rotor blades lifted me off the ground.Spring under the shadow of war
Composing the Spring special for the new year in the past years was mostly along with hope, nature’s rebirth and the promise of renewal of life. Spring has always been a reminder for returning of life and peace after the Winters’ cold. This year though, another atmosphere has settled over our land in the last days of Esfand (March).Excerpt from the Memoirs of Mohammad-Hadi Ardebilli
I registered for Konkour (university entrance exam), following the conclusion of high school. I was accepted into Tehran’s polytechnic (Amirkabir) university and began to study chemical and petrochemical engineering. There was a building named Jordan in the faculty in which religious students had prepared a small room as a house of prayer and did the noon and afternoon prayers in there.
