PARANDAK / IRAN / May 1982: Iraqi prisoners of war are forced to pray with a portrait of Khomeini in Parandak military base, 50 km (30 miles) from Tehran.

Some refused to renounce their own belief. -Manoocher Deghati

TABAS / IRAN / 25.04.1980: Ayatollah Khalkhali walks near the remains of the US marines killed in the helicopter crash in the desert, close to the town of Tabas (about 900 km from of Tehran), after the debacle of the American helicopter raid “Eagle Claw”, aimed at rescuing the US hostages in Tehran. On 11 April 1980, about five months after the opening of the hostage crisis, US president Jimmy Carter assented to a secret military operation to rescue the hostages, despite the opposition of his secretary of state, Cyrus Vance, and in spite of the fears of the CIA of “heavy losses” among the hostages. Launched 24 April 1980, the raid was a total fiasco. Three of the eight helicopters were disabled in a send storm. A fourth collided with a troop transport plane, killing nine US marines. In the hasty departure ordered by Carter, their remains were left behind. It is their bodies that are seen here. Hasting to the site, Ayatollah Khalkhali (known as the “Hangman of the Revolution”), proceeded to conduct an inspection and took part in gathering up the bodies. On 25 April 1980, the White House announced that the raid had failed. Seen as a humiliation for the United States, the failure of the Tabas raid was greeted by the Iranian media as “the hand of God protecting us against the malevolence of the Great Satan”. -Manoocher Deghati

TABRIZ / IRAN / 04.01.1980: Demonstrators for Ayatollah Shariat Madari tear up Khomeini’s portrait in Tabriz. Violent incidents between partisans of the two ayatollahs (Khomeini and Shariat Madari) broke out 4 January 1980 in Tabriz, the capital of Iranian Azerbaijan, Shariat Madari’s native region. They redoubled the intensity after the execution, 12 January, of 11 members of the Republican Party of the Muslim People, which invoked the name of Shariat Madari, who was under house arrest in Qom. An ayatollah that was politically moderate, Shariat Madari supported the revolutionary movement but soon diverged from the radical options coming into play. In 1982, he was stripped of his title of “grand ayatollah” and “model for believers”. He died in 1986. -Manoocher Deghati

TEHRAN / IRAN / 1980: A group of prisoners is executed in public in Jamshid district in Tehran, sentenced to death by Ayatollah Khalkhali. The construction on which they should be hung up fell down, so the prisoners were shot dead. After the outbreak of a major conflict between Khomeini and the People's Mujahedin of Iran (Mojahedin-e-Khalq), an Islamic-Marxist opposition group, the regime launched a mass offensive against oppositionists, and leftist political groups as a whole. Beaten, arrested, tortured and executed without any formalities: this was the fate which the regime reserved for its opponents. -Manoocher Deghati
