Pilots narrate Sacred Defense memories
24 April 2011
Oral history of the Sacred Defense is being recorded by a number of the pilots of the war, said director of the Theoretical and Strategic Studies office of the army's air force.
IBNA: Commander Hussein Chitforoush said the air force of the army has many unfathomed stories about the Sacred Defense era which should be addressed by the farce's veterans and commanders.
"The office will maintain its cause to record war history to manifest the role air force played in the Iraq-imposed war on Iran," he added expounding on the future plans of the office in the new year.
He said the Theoretical Research and Strategic Studies office of the Nehaja published seven titles last year. "Recently, we have begun the work on oral history of air force pilots of the Iranian armed forces to depict the role Nehaja played in different periods of the war," he added.
He highlighted the significance of conveying the experiences and lessons learned form the Sacred Defense by the force's pilots.
He went on to say that a 9-volume collection of books which is titled as the Daily Review of the Air Force during Sacred Defense will be published by the office by the end of the present year in the Islamic Republic of Iran.

Tabas Fog
Ebham-e Tabas: Ramzgoshayi az ja’beh siah-e tahajom nezami Amrika (Tabas Fog: Decoding the Black Box of the U.S. Military Invasion) is the title of a recently published book by Shadab Asgari. After the Islamic Revolution, on November 4, 1979, students seized the US embassy in Tehran and a number of US diplomats were imprisoned. The US army carried out “Tabas Operation” or “Eagle’s Claw” in Iran on April 24, 1980, ostensibly to free these diplomats, but it failed.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.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.
