Memoirs of Haj Hossein Fathi
Our base of operations had become the Saheb al-Zaman Mosque in the Kamp-Lou neighborhood of Ahvaz. With the assistance of Brother Khani and his companions, we began preparing hot meals and sending them to the frontlines. We ourselves, along with several fellow merchants from the bazaar, entered the conflict zone, bringing warm clothing, ...Haj Hossein Fathi’s Memories about Returning from Hajj
In Shahrivar 1359 (September 1980), tensions had arisen on the Iran-Iraq border and were gradually escalating. Volunteers were needed to guard the Qasr-e Shirin border. I joined the line of volunteers, but the operations commander, knowing that I had an upcoming Hajj pilgrimage, took my hand and insisted I go to Mecca and pray for them.

An Eternal Lie!
From the south, we were not very comfortable, but there was no time to hesitate. We left the work to the battalions and went west with Qassem Soleimani and a number of Mahdi officials. Later it turned out that in order to send a message to the hypocrites, they had said that the situation in Iran was not stable; you are like a snowball that if you ...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.An Excerpt from the Memoirs of the Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution
The Founder of Hosseiniyeh Ershad

I was at home in Shahin Villa, Karaj, on Friday, 17th of Shahrivar (September 8th, 1978), when I heard about martial law on the radio at noon. I immediately came to Tehran. The city was completely deserted and under the control of armed soldiers, and it was impossible to enter Jaleh Street and the surrounding area of the square. The news indicated that people had gathered in Jaleh Square and that the soldiers had ...A Glimpse into the Life and Revolutionary Struggles of Imam Khomeini in the Statements of the Islamic Republic Supreme Leader
The Export of the Revolution
There is no doubt that the revered name of Imam made its way across distant lands and applied its profound influence. I once expressed this very point to Imam himself. There were regions so remote that even the faintest echo of our official propaganda had not reached them.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.Spraying Poison in Prison
[Narrated by Susan Haddad Adel] One day in Qasr Prison, they came to spray poison in the rooms. [1973] The officers came into the ward wearing special clothes and masks, but the way they sprayed was like spraying the garden; because without taking the prisoners from the prison to the yard, they started spraying the rooms in the same state. As a result of the spraying, many people fell into a coma and had seizures, and some were coughing non-stop.1

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.
