The text of the Imam’s declaration and the exemption from polytheists in 1969
In 1969, the Imam issued a declaration on the occasion of the Hajj period and included the verse of exemption from polytheists at the beginning of it and said: The Kaaba, the House of God and the House of Truth have been taken by the Israelis and you are watching. The US has taken the Kaaba.Mourning for Faiziyeh Seminary
I remember that in Tehran, on the day of Ashura, I went to the pulpit in the Lorzadeh Mosque. I turned to people and said, "People! What are you so afraid of? What are you afraid of? Of dying? Of being shot? Hey people! Being shot is much better than cancer! We take a bullet and die and feel relieved, but when we are captured by cancer, we have to suffer for a lifetime and then die.Gol Mohammad Shekari’s Memory
During the revolution days, I worked in the village bathhouse. I would hear the news of people’s demonstrations on the radio. Sometimes, I or someone else from the village would go to the city and witness the marches there. At that time, a teacher from the village was martyred in the city, and a large number of people went to Bojnourd to attend his funeral.Feyzieh Seminary Accident Narrated by Dr. Mohammad Baqir Ketabi
During the Nowruz of 1963, tens of thousands of people came to Qom to spend the holidays in that holy land and enjoy its luck and blessings, and at the same time to see and hear the policies and moves of their religious leader and take them to different countries and cities like a messenger.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.2

A Review of the Book “Brothers of the Castle of the Forgetful”: Memoirs of Taher Asadollahi
"In the morning, a white-haired, thin captain who looked to be twenty-five or six years old came after counting and having breakfast, walked in front of everyone, holding his waist, and said, "From tomorrow on, when you sit down and get up, you will say, 'Death to Khomeini,' otherwise I will bring disaster upon you, so that you will wish for death."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
