2015-8-22
- The Persian translation of the book ‘Target Iraq: What the News Media Didn’t Tell You’ by Norman Solomon and Reese Erlich, a bitter narrative of people’s miserable life in Baghdad before the U.S. invasion was released.
According to IBNA correspondent, this book has been translated into Persian by Mohammad Reza Norouzpour. It unfolds the story of poor people oppressed by a dictator in the back alleys of Baghdad, who were deprived of the most basic human rights before the invasion of America.
The introduction of the book describes a little girl who is holding her doll in her arms, having sweet dreams when all of a sudden the sound of an explosion wakes her up to see the image of a family which no longer exists … The sun rises in the Middle East with blood again and the war machine is turned on and no one has the power to stop it … fire, explosion, blood....
An American film star, a veteran radio reporter across America and a leading analyst of media have gone to Iraq, just a few months before the beginning of a second major military offensive to a Muslim country, to present a so-called realistic picture of this country contrary to what is shown in the mainstream media of their countries.
The result of their efforts, Sean Penn, Reese Erlich and Norman Solomon is a book that in reality failed to achieve its goal which was stopping the war machine of George W. Bush.
The book features appendices by the Institute for Public Accuracy and FAIR -- Fairness and Accuracy in Reporting -- that provide a line-by line analysis of Bush's key October speech to Congress, the UN Security Council resolution, and other related speeches and documents.
The Persian translation of ‘Target Iraq: What the News Media Didn’t Tell You’ by Norman Solomon and Reese Erlich; translated by Mohammad Reza Norouzpour is released by Nayestan Publications in Tehran in 156 pages with a print run of 2200 copies.

How to send Imam's announcements to Iran
In the first part, the issue of funds, Hajj Sheikh Nasrallah Khalkhali - who represented most of the religious authorities - was also the representative of Imam. In Najaf, there was a money exchange office that cooperated with the money exchange offices in Tehran. Some of the funds were exchanged through him.Operation Beit al-Moqaddas and Liberation of Khorramshahr
After Operation Fat’h al-Mobin, we traveled to Kermanshah and visited Sar-e-Pol-e-Zahab before heading to Ilam. During Operation Beit al-Moqaddas, the 27th Brigade was still receiving support from the West. We maintained contact with individuals who had previously worked in Area 7 and were now leading the brigade. It was through these connections that I learned about Operation Beit al-Moqaddas.Memoirs of Hujjat al-Islam Reza Motalebi
Hujjat al-Islam Reza Motalebi is a cleric from Isfahan. Before the revolution, he was the imam of the Fallah Mosque – which was later renamed Abuzar Mosque. By his presence and efforts, Abuzar Mosque soon became a base for supporters of the Imam and the revolution. After the victory of the revolution, he played a role in uniting forces and maintaining political vitality in southwest Tehran.The Necessity of Receiving Feedback in Oral History
Whenever we engage in a task, we naturally seek ways to evaluate our performance — to correct shortcomings and enhance strengths. Such refinement is only possible through the feedback we receive from others. Consider, for instance, a basketball player whose shots are consistently accurate; should he begin shooting blindfolded, his success rate would rapidly decline, as he would be deprived of essential feedback from each attempt.
