■The song of change and renewal of nature is heard from every direction, and spring presents its beauties.

 

The air became Jesus, breath, and the dust, musk-diffusing

Green, the tree became; and into song the bird came[1]

(Hafez Shirazi)[2]

 

This spring, slowly and drunkenly, along with Eid al-Maba'ath[3] is celebrated, and it is a link between Iranian culture and prophetic tradition and bring a monotheistic worldview for all.

 

I'm happy in the world because the world is flourish from God

 I love all the world because the world come from God[4]

(Saadi Shirazi)

 

Unfortunately, Iranian people, these days, have an uninvited stranger and gust, which has caused their suffering and sadness; it is an in interloper that sometimes results in death. This ominous gust tries to influence the spring and push away the happiness and flourishing. That is why, the first days of New Year have a different color and smell. On the one hand, pain, fever and shortness of breathiness, and on the other hand, sacrifice, resistance and service of members of the Health Front who have kept hope alive. This honor country has been repeatedly attacked by impostors and vulgarisms and enormous costs has been imposed to it , but Iran and Iranian people persist and continue to evolve. The life history of Iranian residents have shown that they were always defending themselves against any aggression targeted their nature and essence; thy used it as an opportunity to grow. That is why, I believe that Iran's cultural and civilizational background is a valuable asset to overcome this crisis.

For the next few weeks, the Corona virus will left here, and these hard times will be ended. On that day, another glorious page will be added to the Iranian life history. This time is an important experience in storing the knowledge of the people of this country.

 

Do not complain about the sadness in the way of desire

Those, don’t make attempt, don’t feel comfortable

(Hafez Shirazi)

Memoirs of Commander Mohammad Jafar Asadi about Ayatollah Madani

As I previously mentioned, alongside Mehdi, as a revolutionary young man, there was also a cleric in Nurabad, a Sayyid, whose identity we had to approach with caution, following the group’s security protocols, to ascertain who he truly was. We assigned Hajj Mousa Rezazadeh, a local shopkeeper in Nurabad, who had already cooperated with us, ...
Excerpt from the Book of Oral History of the Army and the Islamic Revolution

Two Narratives on the Events of September 8, 1978

"On September 8, most of the military personnel feigned illness and did not participate in enforcing martial law. I know of a battalion commander who had come from Maragheh to Tehran, only to head to Shahr-e Rey to his sister's house. When his sister asked him why he had come to Tehran, he replied, 'I am a battalion commander enforcing martial law.'

How the Tabriz Army Barracks Were Seized

The major explained the plan like this: "When you first enter, tell him to hand over the weapons. Once he puts the guns on the table, grab them and give them to me, since I’m the military man here. Then, tell him to hand over his pistol as well. He might comply, or he might refuse, possibly even shooting one of you. In that case, I’ll fire back with my Uzi.

Imam Khomeini

Every time there was a message from Imam Khomeini, the people who followed their broadcasting, quickly found people like me to write the message on the screen or placard for them. On the same day when this order of the Imam arrived from Paris, one of the same comrades hurriedly came to the shop in the evening and said that a message from the Imam had just reached us.
