What was the honor of the IRGC in Golestan flood?

What was the honor of the IRGC in Golestan flood?

On the evening of April 4, 2018, Hazrat Abulfazl Engineering and Demolition Battalion attached to the “45 Javadalameh Engineering Group” of the IRGC ground force blew up a part of the Gorgan-Inchebron railway line in the north of Aqqola city in three places.

The cause of the explosion was announced as “the release of accumulated water in the area”. Mohsen Rezaei, Secretary of the Expediency Analysis Council, wrote that Golestan Governorate’s Crisis Headquarters allowed the IRGC to detonate after 48 hours. He referred to these explosions as “explosion of hope”!

On the 7th of Farvardin, the Engineering and Demolition Battalion of the Revolutionary Guard Corps, under the direct order of Mohammad Ali Jafari, the commander of the Revolutionary Guard Corps, blew up a part of the “Charqli-Gamishan” road to open the way for the water to escape.

These two explosions were highlighted by IRGC-affiliated media as a solution to reduce the water volume in Aqqola city and prevent a crisis in Gamishan, and they were named the IRGC’s “Jihadist Management” documents of honor.

The Gorgan-Inchebron railway line is a part of an important railway line between Iran, Kazakhstan and Turkmenistan, which is 924 km long and 129 km of which is located in Iran.

In May 2013, under the government of Ahmadinejad, part of the first phase of this project, which was 80 kilometers, was opened with a credit equal to 130 billion Tomans. In December 2014, Hassan Rouhani, the president of Iran, opened this railway line again. In the opening ceremony, it was said that another 110 billion Tomans were spent to complete the project. Of course, the numbers announced about the length of this project are highly contradictory and range from 80 km to 150 km, but the last officially announced number is 129 km.

However, in the final days of the preparation of this project, on 24 December 2014, Sardar Abdollah Abdullahi, the then commander of the Khatam-ul-Anbiya camp of the IRGC, in a press conference, mentioned the implementation of the “Gorgan-Inche Brun” railway project as “the first record in the country” and said : “In less than a year” they built this project!

In the same days, Sardar Ramzan Sharif, the general public relations officer of the IRGC, also referred to this project as a “turning point in the interaction between the government and the IRGC” and said: “Speed, quality and accuracy” are the signs of the actions of the IRGC’s Khatam-ul-Anbiya camp!

The contract for the implementation of the project inside Iran was first signed with “Pars Energy Company” in July 2010, and this company was supposed to complete the work in 164 days, but in 2011, it was announced that the Khatam-ul-Anbiya camp was included in this project. To be more precise, the implementation of this project lasted 42 months, of which at least 30 months of Khatam-ul-Anbiya headquarters were directly involved.

In fact, the project that became one of the most important factors for the escalation of the crisis during the Aqqola flood on the evening of April 4, 2018, was a project that the IRGC’s Khatam-ul-Anbiya camp built, and it was referred to as a symbol of honor, and when it blew up three parts of it, They described it again as a symbol of honor.

It is worth noting that even this honor has been denied by Hassan Rouhani, the president of Iran. On Friday, the 9th of April, he said at the meeting of the “Crisis Management Coordination Council of Khuzestan Province” that he visited the flooded area in Golestan Province by air and that breaking the road and railway had no effect in reducing the crisis: “The water came from here. Ver, like you send a part of the water of the bowl to the other side of the bowl. It had no effect.”
