Supreme Leader
In order to express my devotion even more to the boiled blood of this dear martyr, I would like to offer this sentence and the point that the martyrdom of this brother in that burning desert where the military infidels of our enemy were buried, is a symbolic meaning of this concept. It could be that except at the cost of blood and with the capital of martyrdom and martyrdom, it is not possible for us to be able to resist the dreadful industrial equipment, which unfortunately has used more effort to create tools of destruction than tools of construction, in the same field that American aggressors and thieves are buried under a pile of ashes. Our dear martyr’s brother, Mohammad Montazer Ghaem, sheds his blood and becomes a symbol of courage.We are proud of such self-sacrificing souls and hearts familiar with God, and this is the sentence that the Imam said, “I am proud to have such young people, and it is certainly an honor for a nation and a revolution and for martyr families. Such elements and fortunately such a generation.” It is rooted in this revolution.

Big problem Mr. President A
secret presidential phone call rang in the White House. The chief secretary picked up the phone and anxiously connected it to the president’s room. The anonymous conversation lasted 20 minutes; At the end of the conversation, the President immediately asked the Secretary to send the note in the envelope to the General Staff.
After the Americans fled Iran, the White House issued a statement:
“The United States has failed in an operation in the Tabas Desert to free the lives of hostages held in Iran, and secret and important documents have been left inside the helicopters.”
Shortly after the announcement was made by the White House, helicopters left over from the American operation were bombed on the direct orders of Bani Sadr, who was then commander-in-chief, leaving secret and important documents in The fire broke out and Mohammad Montazer Ghaem, commander of the Yazd Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, who was guarding helicopters in the area, was martyred.
Martyrdom of Mohammad Montazer Ghaem According to our comrades:
At noon on Friday, May 25, the central headquarters of the Tehran Revolutionary Guard Corps called the brother of martyr Mohammad Montazeri Ghaem in Yazd. It is a hospital in Yazd. Hospitals are immediately investigated and the second part of the news is denied, but after an hour, Ayatollah Sadoughi’s office is contacted by the IRGC, who is a tanker driver and claims that his oil tanker was set on fire by the Americans on Tabas Road. Following these reports, Mohammad decided to go to the area as soon as possible and deal with the incident closely.
The latest handwriting of the martyr shows that he considered the situation in the region sensitive and considered the presence of armed and aggressive Americans certain based on the received news and reports, one of the brothers of the Yazdi Revolutionary Guards reports as follows:
“When we were supposed to go, Muhammad said, ‘Let us pray first… When we prayed and returned, Muhammad was still praying in the corner of the IRGC yard. He always prays well. Often, on Fridays, he was worshiped for his piety. However, this time his prayer was different. After it was over, one of the brothers jokingly said,
“Are you praying Jafar Tayyar?” “
We are going to war with the United States,” he replied happily. “Maybe it will be our last prayer.”
And although he was decisive when necessary, as well as full of rage and courage, but in ordinary times he was more humble and ordinary than all the guards, he was upset to look at him as a commander, and although he should have more of a commanding role, and decision-making. And to have a plan, but in addition to that, he was always a pioneer, and especially in dangerous situations, he must have acted first himself, he strictly avoided showing off, even under reports or announcements that are basically announced or sent in the name of the IRGC commander. His name was denied, anyone who joined the IRGC could not find out for a while that he was our commander. He did most of the work himself. Most of the nights he did not go home and even posted instead of us, he ate very little and simple food, he fasted more, he also fasted the day before his martyrdom, which was Thursday…
We traveled the road to Tabas with great speed, even though it is dirt and ruined. On the way, we asked the occupants of the car that had passed by, and they said that the Americans had set fire to a tanker, taken the passengers of a bus hostage, and taken whatever they had. “When we reached the landing area a few kilometers away, there were about fifteen Tabas Committee brothers and some gendarmerie brothers, one of whom said, ‘The area has been mined and a phantom has fired at us. ». Early in the morning, because there was no news of the phantom, we went to the area and found eight bodies there. To be sure, the gendarmerie officer looked at our mission order for the west of the country and told us, “Guard here until tomorrow.”
As we were leaving, a lieutenant said, “Because the phantoms have flown here, I’m going to call the air force to find out that there is a local force in the area.”
Some of the guards of Ferdows and Tabas also came with us by helicopters up to 100 meters, but they did not come forward, but we went further.
At this time we noticed a storm that was about three kilometers away from us and it was clear that it was coming towards us. At that moment, the phantom appeared over our heads. When the storm started, the gendarmerie left the area; But we, the five Yazdi Revolutionary Guards and the brothers of the Tabas Committee, remained. The storm came and we moved through the storm until we reached the landing area of the helicopters. There were two helicopters on one side of the road and four on the other side of the road, one of the helicopters was burning and a four-engine plane was burning next to it. “We got out of the car in the middle of the road and went to identify them.”
Mohammad Shahid was very careful about mining or any kind of explosive trap. We reached the American engines and jeeps. Mohammad first checked the engines when he was sure that the explosives were not connected to it.
Martyr Mohammad was happy and smiling and said:
“Well, these are the 5 helicopters that we lost in Kurdistan. And he himself went to one of the helicopters. The storm that had started some time ago was completely over and the air was clear.
“… Our commander got into one of the helicopters very cautiously. “Behind him, I also got into a helicopter. We found a binder containing several calibrated sheets there, and since we did not specialize in this, we left it in place so that the army brothers could come and examine them.”
“Inside one of the helicopters, a radar device was on. The phantoms circled, then returned to the helicopters, firing a 50-caliber shotgun at the helicopters. The barrage was aimed directly at the helicopter with the radar on; In an instant, the helicopter crashed. “Brother Muhammad, let’s get out of here,” I told our commander. “Now is not the time,” he said. “When the phantoms are gone, we will go too.” We lay down. Our brother Abbas Samei, who was our driver, came to me and said: “I was shot, he went quickly to the road, Brother Rastegari was running when I shouted and I was shot, he replied:” I am also wounded. I have become.” And then fell to the ground; “Because he was injured in the leg.”
“Abbas Samei’s brother, who was lying on the ground, got up and stumbled like a helpless human being and fell to the ground; I thought it was because of fatigue. The brother of salvation pulled himself up to him and lay down beside him. Montazer Ghaem’s brother was also lying on the other side. The phantoms continued to move around, and two helicopters were on the other side of the road; None of them exploded (of course, after we arrived in Tabas, we were surprised to hear that the phantoms had returned and destroyed one of the helicopters). I shouted, “Where is the car switch?” “Abbas is injured and unconscious,” said Rastegari’s brother. Mohammad Montazer Ghaem’s brother was still lying on the other side of the road. I went to him, when I approached, I saw that his wrist had been amputated and he had fallen behind him. I thought the explosives had cut off his hand; I went ahead and called him, but he did not answer. His eyes were open and he had a very calm face, like a man in a dream. There was a lot of blood under his body. I did not want to touch him anymore ..
Another wounded brother who went into the helicopter with Mohammad says:
“کردیم We found various objects in the helicopter. Including a binder with a few graded sheets and some code on it… When the phantoms came and went, the martyr’s brother and I got off the helicopters and hurried away, but the phantoms returned immediately. We slept on the floor and went to lie down. Abbas’s brother said: I was shot. Then he got up but stumbled and fell to the ground. The martyred commander Montazer Ghaem was lying on the other side. The back and forth of the phantoms continued. I turned to Muhammad and saw that his left hand had been amputated and that he had fallen behind his head. I called him but got no answer. He had a very calm face. His eyes were almost open and his lips were smiling as usual, he had fallen so softly on his shoulder that I thought he was asleep, but his armpits were full of blood, I realized that Muhammad had been martyred and had achieved his dream. We could not take his body to his dormant blood.
Martyr’s blood scandalizes American friends
Given that the bombing of Iranian planes on the orders of the traitor Bani Sadr led to the martyrdom of Martyr Montazer Ghaem, questions were raised about the reason for ordering the bombing of the remaining trophies from the US Army. The answers to these questions became clear when Bani Sadr fled Iran.
At the same time, Ayatollah Mahdavi Kani… stated about the issues raised in the commission (Revolutionary Council): “One of the issues is related to the bombing of the remaining helicopters and the martyrdom of the commander of the Yazd Revolutionary Guards during this bombing and some other incidents that took place Has been, has been. The Revolutionary Council sent three people to investigate these incidents to follow up on these incidents to see what happened in the bombing and why they did not pay attention to the fact that the commander of the Yazd Revolutionary Guards was martyred and some were injured, and some other incidents that are not expedient. »
Yazdi Muslim students at the University of Tehran also called for the perpetrators of the martyrdom of the commander of the Yazd Revolutionary Guards to be tried
: He was martyred. We congratulate this honorable martyrdom to the heroic nation and nation of Iran, as well as the honorable family of the martyr, but we consider the martyrdom of our Mujahideen brother in connection with a conspiracy against the Islamic Revolution of Iran and to the responsible officials, especially the President (Bani Sadr) “We want to explain to the Rashid nation of Iran and the family of that martyr how this conspiracy, which led to the martyrdom of this fighting brother, was planned.”
Less than half an hour had passed since the news of Radio America that there were documents in the helicopters that the Tabas desert was being bombed under the pretext of a mine and an imaginary commando. This was completely contrary to military principles and all rational criteria. In addition to the documents, helicopters worth several million dollars each were destroyed.
In a TV interview on Thursday, February 26, 2009, President Bani-Sadr dealt with this “catastrophe” very normally, and after rejecting any conspiracy, after twenty days, he was content with just saying “the issue is being pursued”! After the bombing of American helicopters, which contained important documents related to the continuation of their plans after the first phase of the operation, Bani-Sadr stated that the reason for this action was to eliminate the opportunity for the Americans to use these helicopters again; Whereas if there was such a possibility, it would be enough to open the sensitive equipment and parts of the flight. To disable them. In addition, the addition of five of the most modern helicopters in the world to the Iranian Air Force could have been a great booty of war, which was not achieved by this treacherous act of Bani Sadr.
