In the February 28 of 2026, Saturday, it was marked a sorrowful and poignant memory in the historical consciousness of Iranians and millions of faithful and free‑spirited people around the world.
The man who regarded documenting and publishing the memories of the Islamic Revolution and the Sacred Defense as both a historical necessity and a religious‑national mission, left his admirers with fond recollections and departed on a mystical, eternal journey to meet his Creator.
Return to your Lord, well‑pleased and well‑pleasing; enter among my servants and enter my Paradise. (Qur’an) Without a doubt, the historiography of the Islamic Revolution and the Sacred Defense owes much to the attention, support, and guidance of the Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei.
His careful study of works, observation of new publications, encouragement of authors, the writing of numerous commendations, and frequent meetings and dialogues with activists in this field not only led to the advancement of these works and the expansion of topics and readership but also created a strategic legacy for the future.
It was through his support that the practitioners of oral history in recent decades achieved a position incomparable to the past (a standing that drew attention to oral history within other scientific, cultural, and social domains).
Indeed, that wise leader, the exalted martyr and noble witness, should be recognized as the founder and sustainer of a movement that has produced thousands of hours of interviews, extensive research, invaluable documents and lasting images (a legacy for beloved Iran and generations to come that remains active even today).
This treasury has its roots in his national and visionary outlook, in a heart devoted to the growth and flourishing of his people and country, and in his deep understanding of the identity‑forming dimensions of history (aspects that today serve as the foundation of the people’s steadfast defense against hostile assaults).
We hope to be diligent followers of the same path that he guided and steadfastly walked.
