11 notes from and Iraqi captive
Then everything came to an end, and the situation transformed. Voices reach the ears with different tones and melodies. The sound of screams and the whisper of pens blend together. The wind roars like the rebellious winter thunder, rushing through polished, weathered rocks, carrying delicate snowflakes within it. The blows of snowy waves upon the cheeks are excruciating.Medal and Leave - 2
11 notes from and Iraqi captive
On one of the days in July 1983, our forces' column positioned itself on the highlands and towering peaks of Haj Omran, which held immense strategic importance and where movement was extremely difficult. From this side, fierce and surprise attacks were launched day and night by Saddam's forces and Iranian forces to capture the summit of "Gerdkoo." Movement in such positions usually took place under the cover ...Medal and Leave - 1
11 notes from an Iraqi captive
Many Iraqi POWs wrote memoirs for the Office of Resistance Literature and Art. However, there were exceptions, like the author of this book. We only saw him once, but that one meeting was enough for him to agree to write these eleven beautiful memoirs. We have chosen the name "Medal and Leave" among the titles of this book. We still believe that the insights of Iraqi POWs, combined with the memories ...The Embankment Wounded Shoulders – 16
Diary of a Rescuer
The sky in this part of the earth left many stars for us in its crimson album. The soil of Shalamcheh was like an open embrace from heaven; a flat land of martyrdom where the hands of the brave could easily reach God. "Davood Rahimi", after his martyrdom, was seen in a photo wearing a clerical robe when the guys visited his grave. No one knew during his time at the front that he was a religious student.The Embankment Wounded Shoulders – 15
Diary of a Rescuer
The PMP carrying the members of the relief post set off, and I prayed that they would arrive safely. A mortar hit the PMP near the embankment, but by God's will, nothing happened, and it continued moving. I started walking as the mortar shells were exploding a few meters away. As I passed the three-way intersection, I saw a burned and disintegrated ambulance.The Embankment Wounded Shoulders – 14
Diary of a Rescuer
It was a very dangerous job, but there was no other choice. We left the wounded in the P.M.P. and prayed that they would pass safely. From there, it was a twenty-minute walk to the end of the three-way road. The P.M.P. left and disappeared from our sight at a bend in the road. I called Ghiyassi by portable transceiver to inform him that a P.M.P. full of wounded was coming.The Embankment Wounded Shoulders – 13
Diary of a Rescuer
The next morning, I along with Haj Mojtaba and a few other guys set off towards Mahi Lake, with bullets raining down around them. Relying on God and their faith, the guys crossed dangerous passages and successfully fought off many enemy soldiers. As they progressed, the enemy casualties continued to rise. Bodies lay scattered in groups, and the guys even managed to capture several Iraqi underground camps.The Embankment Wounded Shoulders – 12
Diary of a Rescuer
The Bengal Torpedo was a device that, when it exploded, pulverized barbed wire, but the person in charge of this torpedo had dropped the torpedo on the ground in order to reach the guys and be with them sooner and had come after us. Here, too, the Iraqi mujahed came to our aid and began clearing the barbed wire.The Embankment Wounded Shoulders – 11
Diary of a Rescuer
When Haji passes the same place again in the morning, he sees that the same Iraqis have been killed and some have been captured, and that the man who had raised his hand in military respect was just a statue. We entered the Fav buildings with the guys and retrieved medical supplies, medicine, and other looted items from a unit there.The Embankment Wounded Shoulders – 10
Diary of a Rescuer
I was on my way back to Dokoohhe, feeling familiar with the railroad, its tracks, and wagons. As it was dinner time, I went to get a drink on the train and that's when I saw Haj Mojtaba Asgari in the train corridor. I hadn't seen Hajj in about a month. His father had suffered a stroke, and the Haji had been taking care of his father's hospital work.1

Agents in Search for the Fighter
[Interview with Fatemeh Amir Hosseini 2019/03/08.] The agents were always at our house. They would come day and night, turn the house upside down, mess up the library. For example, I remember we had the book Eqtesadona (Our Economy) by Mr. Sadr, and Imam Khomeini’s Resaleh (Treatise). We had many books—they would pack some of them up and take them away. Then the next day, they would knock again. Back then, our house was on Ghiyasi Street. We were really distressed.Najaf Headquarters Human Resources

The Founder of Hosseiniyeh Ershad
Regarding the presence of [Martyr Ayatollah Motahhari] in Hosseiniyeh Ershad, it would be inaccurate to refer to it just as “participation”; he was, in fact, one of its founders. At a time when Tehran lacked proper, organized, and intellectually rigorous religious gatherings, a few individuals decided to initiate such a movement—and the central ...
