According to the reporter of Navideshahed; 2nd Conference on “Kheybar Stars”? was held in hall of “Haj va Ziarat Organization”? on Friday evening. This seminar was held for honoring martyred braves of the Ahourayee (It means similar or related to Ashoura) battle of “Kheybar”? operation. Commander Major general Pasdar Sayed Yahya Safavi, Supreme Assistant and Consultant of Commander of All Forces (The Supreme Leader) in Military Affairs delivered speech at this conference and said: “Martyrs protected Iran and the Islamic government by sacrificing their lives. We owe martyrs of “Kheybar”? operation a lot. Humanity owes to people as much as they have served it; but humanity does not owe to anyone as much as martyrs.”? Nations that have revolted and face with enemies such as USA and Zionist regime are always in danger. And they always need the morale of epic, jihad and self sacrifice, Safavi added. Martyrs of “Kheybar”? operation are symbols of faith in God and martyrdom. They are examples for the youth of Iran and Islam world today and tomorrow. Innocent scent of blood of sacred defense martyrs has bee spread in the atmosphere of Middle East. And martyrs such as Moghnieh and other martyrs of Palestine and Iraq have learned the lesson of resistance in the school of Imam Khomeini and martyrs. They have learned resistance from resistance of Iranian men and women, he added. We should go a long way to understand value and ways of “Kheybar”? martyrs completely. “Kheybar”? operation was one of the large operations during the imposed war, Safavi said. He further referred to the problems that this operation faced with and also carried out activities for the operation as well as Imam Khomeini’s historical command on protecting “Majnoon”? islands. He said: “Iraqi forces shot over one million bullets to take these islands back from Iran; but rain of bullets which came from Iraq and also their chemical weapons could not break resistance of Islam combatants.”? Commander Kowsari, Former Commander of Division 27 Mohammad Rasoulallah also delivered speech at this conference and said: “The enemy was present in the region with all its power in “Kheybar”? operation. Islam combatants dealt with God in sacred defense. And it was not clear whether we could have this security in our country if the fact was something except that.”? It should be mentioned that a number of young people, who attended the conference, participated at the plan of accepting succession of some martyrs.
