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.

The Beating Pulse of a Nation at the Moment of Nowruz
Every year, in the days and nights leading up to Nowruz, Shohada Square had a special charm. A few days before the New Year, the shops would fill with customers, and street vendors would take over the sidewalks. You could find everything in their stalls (from items for the Haft Sin table, candles, goldfish, and spring flowers to clothes, bags, and shoes).The Editor's Missing Place on the “Deck”
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. To compile this book, the esteemed author has utilized documentary research (referring to relevant archival centers and selecting documents) and field research ...An Exceptional Haft‑Seen Table
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).
