Shahid Fahmideh〔https://secure.flickr.com/photos/kamshots/472287934/〕 ((ペルシア語:شهید فهمیده); full name: Mohammad Hossein Fahmideh, )〔(:mohæmmæd hoˌsejne fæhmiːˈde)〕 (born 6 May 1967 in Qom – 30 October 1980 in Khorramshahr) is a war hero of Iran〔http://www.iran-daily.com/1383/2129/html/panorama.htm〕 and an icon of the Iran–Iraq war. In September 1980, Iraq started the invasion of Iran via air and land, sending five armoured and mechanized divisions across the Shatt al-Arab (Arvand Rud) waterway to invade the oil-rich Khuzestan Province in southern Iran, quickly seizing several towns in the area, and on November 10, captured the city of Khorramshahr.〔 According to his official life story,〔http://www.iranian.com/AssalBadrkhani/2003/October/Peace/index.html〕 Fahmideh was a 13-year-old boy from Qom who, on the outbreak of war in 1980 with Iraq, made his decision〔http://www.impact-se.org/docs/reports/Iran/Iran2006_ch8.pdf〕 to leave his home without his parents knowledge to go to southern Iran and aid in the defense of Khorramshahr, the front line of the war.〔http://fbilibrary.fbiacademy.edu/bibliographies/suicidebombers.htm〕 In the besieged city of Khorramshahr, he fought side by side with older Iranian soldiers.〔http://english.farsnews.com/newstext.php?nn=8608070681〕 Fahmideh was among the Iranians who engaged in fierce house-to-house battles in which thousands of Iraqis and Iranians were killed.〔 At one point, Iraqi forces pushed the Iranian troops back as they were passing through a very narrow canal. Due to a lack of RPG rockets and the sensitive formation of the Iraqi tanks, Fahmideh, seeing that his older comrades were already dead or wounded, wrapped himself in a grenade belt from a nearby body, pulled the pins out, and jumped underneath the advancing Iraqi tank, killing himself and disabling the tank.〔http://web.archive.org/web/20071031223126/http://english.farsnews.com/newstext.php?nn=8608070681〕 This made the Iraqi tank column think that the Iranians had mined the area which stopped their advance. Later, Voice of the Islamic Republic of Iran broadcast a breaking news describing the incident.〔 His story inspired many Iranians during the war to risk death to save their young republic, and has been heralded by leaders in Iran from Ayatollah Khomeini to President Mohammad Khatami. Ayatollah Khomeini declared Fahmideh an Iranian national hero,〔http://www.naderdavoodi.net/?cat=imposedwar&id=226〕 and made references to him in several of his speeches:〔〔 Fahmideh is buried in Behesht-e Zahra cemetery in Tehran, in section 24, row 44, no. 11.〔http://www.tebyan.net/newindex.aspx?pid=4108〕 A monument to him was erected on the outskirts of Tehran, a place of pilgrimage of young Iranians.〔(''The making of a suicide bomber'' )〕〔(Shahid Fahmideh )〕 In the years following Hossein's death, murals where erected throughout Iran, book bags displaying Hossein were sold to children, and a postage stamp was issued in his memory in 1986.〔http://web.mit.edu/isg/IAQ242005.pdf〕 Streets, hospitals, schools, and even sports stadium throughout Iran have been named in his honor.〔 The day of his death, October 30, marks the "Student Basij Day" in the official calendar of Iran.〔http://www.irdc.ir/en/calendar/387/default.aspx〕 Fahmideh received the military award 1st grade Fath Medal on September 27, 1989 after the Iran–Iraq War, becoming the first recipient.〔http://www.farsnews.com/newstext.php?nn=13921029000489〕 ==See also== *Martyrdom in Iran 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Mohammad Hossein Fahmideh」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
