From the heart of the interview, a heartfelt note for an iron woman is so beautiful and moving! The life story of this strong woman, a woman who, despite having no children, dedicated her entire being to her homeland and her comrades. It is as if fate had chosen her for a greater mission. In the days when the fire of war was everywhere, she sewed clothes for the warriors with her delicate hands and strengthened their spirits with a kind heart. A woman who dedicated her workshop and sewing machines to the front, and that workshop became a factory for producing hope and sacrifice. Every thread and needle she made was a message of love and support that went to the fronts.
By educating women, she created a strong network of support that gave new life to the warriors. She was present not only behind the front, but also in the heart of fire and blood. She truly became a mother to all warriors, a mother who soothed weary hearts in her arms. She may not have had any earthly children, but her heavenly children were warriors who remembered her with pride. A woman who was both the wife of a warrior and herself at the forefront of the jihad. A rare combination of feminine elegance and masculine steadfastness. From the moment she said goodbye to her husband, she told us that when she sent him to the front to defend the homeland, a hidden tear would fill her eyes; but with heavenly patience, she accepted this separation and saw him off. She knew that love for the ideal was greater than any love and that her husband's path was a sacred path. With his wife's martyrdom, a burning pain was placed on his heart that would remain with him forever, but he did not give up. He continued on his path and continued to serve the people and his revolution. Jamila Mohammadkhani, a woman of light who shone like a candle in the dark heart of war, and whose life story will inspire future generations. This meeting once again showed that humanity is the greatest power in the world.

Documentary Pathology of the US Embassy Documents
The Necessity of Scientific Rereading and Content Analysis of DocumentsMore than four decades have passed since the publication of the first collections of documents from the US Embassy in Tehran. However, despite the relatively easy access to this treasure trove of documents, systematic research exploitation of it has not been adequate. We still do not have a “comprehensive picture” of the content of these 11,000 documents.
