An Excerpt from the Memoirs of General Mohammad Jafar Asadi
As Operation Fath-ol-Mobin came to an end, the commanders gathered at the “Montazeran-e Shahadat” Base, thrilled by a huge and, to some extent, astonishing victory achieved in such a short time. They were already bracing themselves for the next battle. It is no exaggeration to say that this operation solidified an unprecedented friendship between the Army and IRGC commanders.A Selection from the Memoirs of Haj Hossein Yekta
The scorching cold breeze of the midnight made its way under my wet clothes and I shivered. The artillery fire did not stop. Ali Donyadideh and Hassan Moghimi were in front. The rest were behind us. So ruthlessly that it was as if we were on our own soil. Before we had even settled in at the three-way intersection of the Faw-Basra-Umm al-Qasr road, an Iraqi jeep appeared in front of us.Part of memoirs of martyr Seyed Asadollah Lajevardi
Boycotting within prison
Here I remember something that breaks the continuity, and I have to say it because I may forget it later. In Evin Prison, due to the special position that we and our brothers held and our belief in following the line of Marja’eiyat [sources of emulation] and the Imam, we had many differences with the Mujahedin.I will not accept it until he resigns
When I got back from exile, I went to Mashhad and stayed there for a while. Then I came to Tehran to do a joint project with friends. They insisted that I stay in Tehran. It was my own intention too but Muharram and Safar were coming and Imam had issued special orders for Muharram and Safar. At his order, we were supposed to organize the work related to this time in Mashhad with the help of friends.The distribution of the “Khomeini, O Imam” anthem
I wrote the “Khomeini, O Imam” anthem before the victory of the revolution, meaning when Imam left Najaf for Paris. At that time Imam’s announcements were sent to Iran. If you remember, when the announcements came, they were distributed like a nightly newspaper. Fellows threw them inside the nearby houses at night. Speeches were recorded on cassette tapes and were going from hand to hand.Excerpt from the Memoirs of Mehdi Farhoudi
After the Victory
One or two months after the victory of the revolution, I went to the Presidential Office. Members of the IRGC were present there as well. I had been entrusted with certain assignments by Martyr Chamran. Among the people present ther, were Mr. Ebrahim Yazdi and Abdolali Bazargan. Since Abdolali’s father was well acquainted with me, he granted me certain authorities.Organizing the first committee in Tehran
A few days after arriving in Tehran, Mr. Ali Ahi, one of my scholar and eulogist friends, came to our house with one of his fellows. They asked me to be the prayer leader of Saheb Al-Zaman Mosque in Javadieh Street, in Sar Asiyab Dolab quarters. The last prayer leader, was Mr. Sehikh Javad Khorasani, who had passed away less than a year before. Anyhow, I accepted their invitation.Excerpt from the Memoirs of Mehdi Chamran

"... At that time, Dr. Mostafa Chamran had not yet arrived in Iran; he was still in Lebanon. We were eagerly anticipating his arrival… One day, while I was walking through the corridors of the Prime Minister’s Office—since my duties during those days were predominantly based there— ...Helping the families of the martyrs of 1979
This was done all over Iran by clergies and revolutionaries. At that time, there was neither the Shahid Foundation, nor a center or community that was in charge of this matter. Providing for the needs of the martyr’s families and victims and political prisoners, was the responsibility of the revolutionaries themselves, especially the charitable and clergies, who were the followers of the line of Imam Khomeini.A fragment of Akbar Barati memoirs
About the formation of the Islamic Revolution Committee on 2 February 1979

A House Colored with Sacrifice
Stepping into a house that smells of sacrifice and courage is not something that can be easily described. In this house, every wall has a story of courage and as if time had stopped.
