Interview with Haj Mohammad Hashem Soleimani ‎

I was just appointed as a guard. We were in Shemiran Palace. When we changed post the previous ‎guard didn’t tell me that Shapoor Alireza [1] has left the palace. When I started my shift I didn’t ‎know Shapoor Alireza is out of the palace. It was dark at night that I saw car lights from the road ‎and a car was closing in. It flashed light. We had closed the gates. He said: hey guard! Open the ‎door! I said: Sir! I don’t know you. He said: I just left few minutes ago. ‎

An interview with Ghodratollah Bahari

Eleventh of Mehr 1359, we moved by helicopter toward the enemy. A number of Green ‎Beret forces were also in the helicopter and we met them accidentally. Their commander ‎was a First Lieutenant who became Colonel and then an adviser. We came and reached to ‎Susangerd-Hamidieh road, where we saw Iraqi tanks have mired. They surrounded by ‎water and their crew have fled. We didn’t have anything to do with the mired tanks. They ‎were also no problem for helicopters.‎

An interview with Ghodratollah Bahari

I visited Colonel Ghasemi, commander of Ahvaz army, and introduced myself. I knew him before. He was commander of Battalion 255-Tank in which I had been trained M36 and M4 tanks. He was familiar with my spirit. He didn’t know my other past records, but had known with my spirit from that time I was in battalion for training. “Ghodrat! What are you doing here?” he called my name, “did you escape to Tehran?” I said: “Yes, but I was a volunteer.”

Interview with Haji Mohammad Hashem Soleimani

I had heard that Haji Mohammad Hashim Soleimani has served his soldiering in Pahlavi’s palaces between the years 1331 to 1333 (1952-1954). On a snowy day in the fall of 1394 (2015), I set off to Chonas village in Arak. Mr. Soleimani’s job was farming. And although he was born in 1312 (1933), but still speaks about some events of his twenties precisely and warmly. It has passed more than 63 years since that time, but he speaks as if it happened yesterday.

Susangerd, Occupation, Liberation (1)

Interview with Ghodratollah Bahari

Susangerd witnessed many changes in Mehr and Aban 1359. First, the city was occupied by Iraqis, then liberated and again was besieged and went up to the other conquest. Three operations were performed for liberating Susangerd. The first battle was not successful; in the second one the city was liberated and at the third one, its siege was raised. Ghodratollah Bahari was the commander of second battle.

Interview with Hussein Shah-Husseini

Following the coup, he stayed in his hideout and was arrested by Colonel Moulavi on Thursday, February 25, 1954. He was once assassinated during the Mossadeq administration by Fedayeen Islam supporters and was once attacked by Shaban Bimoq gangs and government hooligans, during which he was badly injured and was only saved by his sister before he was taken care of at the army's hospital to be prepared for a kangaroo court.

Loss of Memory in Pahlavi Prisons

In total, [I was in prison] about 6 years in two arrests. For the first time after several years, a soldier arranged my escape. I do not know why! Maybe he was one of the influential elements of Islamic groups. They took me to the hospital for the treatment of my hand, which was broken due to the callousness of an officer.

Hajj Pilgrimage

I went on a Hajj pilgrimage in the early 1340s (1960s). At that time, few people from the army, gendarmerie and police went on a pilgrimage to the holy Mashhad and holy shrines in Iraq. It happened very rarely. After all, there were faithful people in the Iranian army who were committed to obeying the Islamic halal and haram rules in any situation, and they used to pray.

Programs of New Year Holidays
Without blooming, without flowers, without greenery and without a table for Haft-sin , another spring has been arrived. Spring came to the camp without bringing freshness and the first days of New Year began in this camp. We were unaware of the plans that old friends had in this camp when Eid (New Year) came.

Attack on Halabcheh narrated

With wet saliva, we are having the lunch which that loving Isfahani man gave us from the back of his van when he said goodbye in the city entrance. Adaspolo [lentils with rice] with yoghurt! We were just started having it when the plane dives, we go down and shelter behind the runnel, and a few moments later, when the plane raises up, we also raise our heads, and while eating, we see the high sides ...
