July 9th In Memory Of All Those Iranian Brave Souls Who Stood Up Against Tyranny ...
In July 1980 a group of Iranian officers, mostly drawn from the air force, made what became a disastrous attempt at staging a coup detat.

The plotters had organized themselves in a secret group called Neqab (the Mask) and were led by two officers known for their courage and dedication: Major General Reza Mehdiyoun and Brigadier General Ayat Mohagheghi from the air force..


Top Gun General Ayat Mohagheghi
The plan envisaged for a commando unit to seize control of the Shahrokhi air base in Hamadan (west of Tehran), enabling the group to capture eighteen F4 fighters stationed there. Some of the fighters would then be flown over Tehran, less than six minutes time away, to bomb Rouhollah Khomeinis residence in the hope of killing the ayatollah.

This dramatic act, the plotters hoped, would be the signal to other units positioned in the capital to seize the radio and television stations and to arrest the leading mullahs and their associates. The next move would consist of a demonstration on central Tehran by thousands of tough guys from the southern districts of the capital.

The Mask plot was quickly discovered and stopped before it could get off the ground. More than 300 people were arrested and some 80 of them were later executed on Khomeinis orders. The executions were followed by a fresh purge of the armed forces, weakening them even further only weeks before Iraq invaded Iran in September 1980

Before his trial, General Ayat Mohagheghi was beaten and interrogated and later brought on television where he was questioned by Hojatoleslam Reyshahri about his role in the coup attempt.

Despite his shabby appearance he appeared calm and defiant as he sat in a white short-sleeve summer shirt alongside four other defendants. Clearly there was no doubt in his mind as to what awaited him at the end but he was determined not to disgrace himself.

  • روانش شاد و یادش گرامی‌ باد ، میهن پرستان راستین را بشناسید

  • Too many people involved....so easily compromised, as with the plot against Hitler (5000--8000 German officers involved).

    The plotters communicated with outside sources in the West, without guessing that just maybe certain countries such as the USA, UK, France were covertly backing the illiterate mullahs into power.....for Quija Board whimsical reasons...so it was compromised there also.

    I therefore from simple logic contend that ANY plot against the dreaded mullahs which is planned and based
