It was a painful scene. The war veterans wanted to shoot, I said since we are going to get martyred, so let us to kill some of them and then to die. The tanks were opening fire towards the surrounding areas and they would advance. When they reached to a distance of 150 meters away from me, I demanded to open fire towards them. We had four R.P.G bullets. When one of the war veterans stood up of the trench, he shot one of the tanks down. The second one was retreating that it hit the wall of houses located in the port. The commandership car was moving by reversing gear towards the boulevard, when I saw that the tank was retreating, I stood up and I shouted ‘Allah O Akbar, Allah O Akbar’ (God is great), attack; suddenly the enemy forces escaped…

At 19:30 on Tuesday, September 28, 1981 after the military operation ‘Samen Al-Aameh’ a plane C-130 was moving from Ahvaz to Tehran in order to take the injured patients and pure bodies of martyrs to their families and hospitals, but it faced with a problem and crushed in Kahrizak area of Tehran.
