A Memory from a Holy Defense Commander

Here are some points to the trip of a board of military authorities to Syria and Lebanon after the attack of Israel to south of Lebanon…

When we returned to Iran and we arrived to the airport, we directly went to Imam Khomeini’s house. It seemed that the meeting of Excellence Council was being held. The grand Ayatollah Khemeni and Mr. Hashemi were present in the meeting as well.

It was the sunset time and they wanted to start the meeting in the room of Imam Khomeini, but we observed that Imam Khomeini was being prepared for prayer.

The others also performed their prayer with him so happily. After the prayer, Imam Khomeni turned back and he looked at the participators and he offered them to start the meeting at the same place.

We had made a half circle around Imam Khomeini and a detailed report was given about our trip to Imam Khomeini by Mr. Rezaei.

After the end of his description, Imam Khomeini said that I don’t enter the detailed executive issues and I have a recommendation and I think it is good that you think about it as well.

You should be so careful that this story not to be performed about you. It means you should not be wandering in Lebanon between the earth and sky, you should have supports.

I mean helping is good, but the accurate path should be chosen for helping. Your way is ground way and you need to pass from three to four countries.

Since you are not connected directly to Lebanon geographically, you might face with some problems on the ground way. If you want to fight, you should know that this work is not an easy work, because you might face with troubles in the continuity of your supports. This recommendation of Imam Khomeini determined the main line and policy for us and it caused that we renew and revise our supportive units.

This board got permission from Imam Khomeini and they went there and they continued their cooperation there based on the suggestion of Imam Khomeini.

Therefore they did not refuse our presence in Lebanon, but they specified it in a limited and restricted method. In regards to this meeting, later Imam Khomeini expressed the famous sentence that the way Quds is from Karbala. In fact this sentence of Imam Khomeini was really effective and awakening and it prevented us from entering a wrong battle so that we noticed the main battle.

The End
