Sardar Nasrollah Fat'hian, the chosen Jihadi director and the head of combat medical services during the years of the Sacred Defense, was a guest on the 288th Shab-e Khatereh (Night of memories) program (Feb. 2017). He spoke about the construction of the field hospital and Operation Valfajr 8. Fat’hian said: “In Operation Valfajr 8 in 1985, I was the head of the operation’s medical services. One of the biggest problems in all wars is the wounded, and the most complicated way to solve this problem is to bring medical teams to the war zone. Usually, in all wars, the wounded are taken to the doctors, but in the Sacred Defense, doctors came to the wounded. This cost the medical community. They accepted this cost. One of the hospitals that played a prominent role during the Sacred Defense is Hazrat Fatima Zahra (PBUH) Hospital. We prepared this concrete hospital for Operation Valfajr 8. The hospital had 60 emergency beds, 10 operating rooms, 30 emergency beds for chemical casualties and 20 recovery beds. It was built in 6 months under protected conditions where only a few people could move around. The medical team arrived and the operation began early in the morning. This field hospital was attacked several times. In no war do they attack hospitals, but our enemy broke all the rules.”
Let’s see this story in the following.

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.

Validation: Challenges and Necessities
Where does truth stand in oral history? How can the correctness of a narrative be recognized? Does fact-checking matter? If there is exaggeration in the reporting of some accounts, how can it be detected? Is it possible to record an event accurately through the recording of a narrative? Readers and users of oral history works are often faced with these questions, and sometimes encounter doubts about some oral history works.From Revolutionary Circles to the Military Arm of the Islamic Government
