An interview with Mohammadali HajimoniriIsfahan Student’s Movement (6)As long as I can remember, graffiti was just doing in the toilets and I can’t remember elsewhere that I have seen. It should be noted, of course, that political climate of year 57 (1978-79) and initial state of revolution is another issue, and it is not our intended purpose. We are talking about those times.

Industrial and Mining Development Bank of Iran (4)Narrated by Ali Zirak NejadI was in charge of management of this department. There were two departments for contract. We sent a telex and had to code it. I had the codes for both departments. I had my tenure as manager of treasury and financial manager of the bank. For instance, if I felt that USD 10 million is needed somewhere I would send a telex to the bank requesting the amount and it was done.

 Air Raid to Al-Waleed (8) By: Brigadier General Ahmad Mehrnia
Retired pilot, Colonel Gholam Hossein (Behrouz) Naghdibeik says: “One day, a number of experienced pilots of other bases were invited to Hamadan. We ourselves were not then aware that what is happening. Operation Deputy of base called newly arrived pilots and a number of us to the command post of air base and explained general points of our mission cautiously. I think, of course, the leader had been well filled in on the details. Fourteen F-4 fighter/bombers armed with bombs and ammunition. Although we thought that the operation is completely confidential and no one knew it, but one of non-commissioned officers who was a friend of mine, asked me: ‘attacking Iraqi’s Tupolev base, what’s the matter?’ as soon as we left the command post. Then-commander, Colonel Golchin was with us and I quickly raised the issue with him. However, it was decided to carry out the mission. I remember he justified that a dozen Phantoms must implement the main operation according to the plan and two Phantoms accompany them near the borders of North West, as a substitute; and if there is no need, back to the insider base. Also, two tanker aircraft will be waiting for delivering fuel above the Lake Uremia.    |
