During the years 1977 and 1978, we can see that no words about the decent and capable characteristic of Gharani as an officer have been stated. At that time, the leaders of the Army usually they would be honored and respected so much and the regime usually would not ruin the dignity and greatness of these leaders. Although martyr Gharani had to resign from the Army, but anyways, he would be considered among these leaders. After the revolution that all the relatives and agents of the Shah’s regime were removed, the name of Major General Gharani as an interested person to conflicts and as an outstanding character that was against the Shah’s regime. Also he was a religious person as well. But he was stated as a person who would rarely come to the fields of conflicts and he was the only religious character who was worthy and who had tolerated the difficulties of prison and he would serve in the highest position of the Army.”?

The 82nd cultural and historical magazine of Shahed Yaran has been released by the collaboration and efforts of the Foundation of Martyrs and Veterans Affairs. Masoud Zaribafan was the manager in charge for this magazine. This magazine was published in July 2012 with the price of 1600 Tomans.

It should be noted that the martyr lieutenant general Gharani was born in 1913. After accomplishing his elementary education, he entered the Army and he got a good growth in this field as well. He accomplished his military education in an Official College. From the beginning of his lifetime, since he had so many interests to the religious issues, he followed the path of Imam Khomeini and in 1958 along with some of his friends and those who had the same beliefs decided to fight against the Pahlavi Regime; therefore they decided to make a coup against the regime. This plan was revealed and he was imprisoned. After freedom from prison, he stepped in a new way, but every few times due to some expanded political activities that he would do, he would be detained and imprisoned.

After the magnificent victory of Islamic Revolution, lieutenant general Gharani was appointed as the first chief of the Joint Staff of the Army. On February 13, 1979 at the office of Army Joint Staff, he installed the statue of Imam Khomeini, the supreme leader and founder of the Islamic Republic of Iran and then he addressed the attendees and he said: “The Shah’s Imperial Army that was known as the most equipped Army of the world and maybe in accordance to the tools and equipments was, but since it did not have belief, it was overthrown within a few hours. The personnel of an Army should be firstly pious and secondly they should have the ambition of preserving independency for country and it should not be done only by the support of one person. The Iranian Army before this had become a personal Army and we observed that it was ruined so quickly. The contemporary history indicated that each time that the aggressors would attack, this Army would be defeated or dispersed. For example this event took place in 1941. At that time also some people who had only relied on God and they did not have any weapons, but they had a strong belief in God were the winners of the battle. Today we have come here, you friends can see that nothing exists here. This Army should be arranged and after that the former agents must be removed. Also the belief and ideology must be governing.”?

After that he started his activity for the purpose of purification and reconstruction. During of his service for the Islamic Republic of Iran’s Army was only 43 days from February 12, 1979 to March 27, 1979. It was a short period of time, but it was done during a sensitive time of the revolution history which each moment of that consisted of great events and adventures especially in the military dimension.

Based on the outlook of anti-revolutionary militants who belonged to the foreigners especially to the Iraqi Baathist regime, they started conflicts and violations from the first day of the Islamic Revolution victory in different cities of Iran especially in Kurdistan. They advanced to the place that they captured the garrison of Kurdistan and they robbed what existed in this garrison. The big sin of the lieutenant Gharani was this that he struggled so much in order to prevent the fall of Sanandaj city and he did not let the destiny of other military centers to be handed over to the anti-revolutionary militants by the treachery of the authorities.

Eventually by the treachery of liberals and the defenders of anti-revolutionary groups caused that the lieutenant Gharani to present his resignation due to the double standard which had been created in the temporary government in fighting against the bandits in Kurdistan and he was removed from his post on the same day and after a few times passing from that event he was martyred by the terrorist groups of Forghan on April 23 of the same year.
