Air Force Homafars Pledge Allegiance to Imam Khomeini in the Decisive Days of the Revolution
Tehran – Navid Shahed | The photograph taken on February 8, 1979 (19 Bahman 1357), showing Air Force homafars saluting Imam Ruhollah Khomeini, was more than a news image. It became a symbol of alignment between parts of Iran’s armed forces and the ideals of the Islamic Revolution as well as the demands of the Iranian people—an event that accelerated the final victory of the revolution.
