چکیده:
رژیم بعثی عراق در سی و یکم شهریور ماه 1359 به چند فرودگاه و پایگاه هوایی کشورمان تجاوز
کرد و رسما اعلان جنگ داد. در این حمله ی ناجوانمردانه بیش از نه نفر از هموطنانمان به شهادت
رسیدند. دشمن بعثی از همان نخستین ساعات تجاوز به حریم جمهوری اسلامی ایران مناطق مسکونی
و مراکز غیر نظامی را هدف قرار داد تا بتواند از این طریق دولت ایران را مجبور به پذیرش خواسته های
نامشروع خویش نماید.
در بمب باران هوایی فرودگاه بین المللی مهرآباد و پایگاه یکم شکاری نیروی هوایی، یکی از دو باند
پایگاه کاملا تخریب شد و به سه فروند هواپیمای نظامی و تعدادی از آشیانه ها خسارات وارد شد.
این حمله ی دشمن بی پاسخ نماند و نیروی هوایی مقتدر ارتش جمهوری اسلامی ایران دست به
عملیاتی تلافی جویانه زد و صبح اول مهرماه نیز با 140 فروند جنگنده بمب افکن بسیاری از مراکز
حیاتی نظامی، صنعتی و اقتصادی دشمن را در هم کوبیده شد.
این تجاوز دشمن در شرایطی انجام شد که رسانه های خبری حامی دشمن، اخبار نبرد ملت مظلوم
ایران را با سانسور شدید به دنیا مخابره می کردند.
Relying on the west and east superpowers, the Iraqi Baathist regime invaded the Islamic Republic
of Iran territory in September 1980 and started the longest war of the 20th century in which the
Iraqis mainly suffered the serious destruction, but the Iranian nation maintained its territorial integrity
and came out of sovereign divine test victorious. In this unrelenting battle, more than seventy
countries cooperated with Saddam and for example we can point out to the citizens from 13 different
countries captured by the Iranians as the prisons of war. This was only a bit of world support
from Iraqi Baath Party. Dispatching ammunitions, providing military intelligence by spy planes and
satellites as well as the financial assistance granted by the Persian Gulf and other Arab countries
such as Egypt, Sudan, Jordan and some other countries is so high that explaining each of them requires
an independent book. In September 22, 1980 the Iraqi Baath regime invaded several airports
and air bases of our country and declared war formally. More than 9 Iranian citizens were killed in
this cruel attack. From the first hours of invasion of Islamic Republic of Iran territory, the Baathist
enemy targetted the urban areas and non-military circles to force the Iranian government to accept
its illegitimate demands. During the Iraqi attacks to the Mehrabad Airport and the 1st attack base of
Iranian air force, one of the bands in this base was destructed completely and three military airplanes
and some of the shelters were damaged. But this enemy attack was retaliated and the brave air force
of Islamic Republic of Iran only two hours later did a retaliatory attack. In the morning of 23 September,
140 Iranian fighter-bombers did an overwhelming attack against several military, industrial
and economic vital circles of enemy. The enemy invaded Iran in a condition that the mass media
supporting the enemy censored the news of resistance of the Iranian oppressed nation severely.
