Muhammad Taqi Ebrahimi (1958-1985) served as the Deputy Commander of the Sanandaj Beit al-Muqaddas Brigade during the Iran-Iraq War.
In 1958, Muhammad Taqi Ebrahimi was born in Qahderijan, Isfahan Province, where he finished the primary and intermediate schools. Because there was no high school in his hometown, Ebrahimi and a few others had to travel to Falavarjan to pursue secondary education. However, when realized that the city’s high school had reached its maximum capacity, they went back to their hometown and started building a high school with the support of the Education Ministry. The following year, they expanded the building and by the time they graduated, the Qahderijan High School (Jalal High School) was completed.
As Ebrahimi was completing his last year of high school the revolutionary struggle of the Iranian people had reached its peak. Therefore, Muhammad Taqi and his friends organized the first demonstrations in the city and were arrested during clashes with gendarmerie forces. Then they were taken to the SAVAK detention center in Fooladshahr. When the people found out they took to the streets demanding their immediate release.
After the victory of the Islamic Revolution, Ebrahimi joined the Islamic Revolutionary Committee and later the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) in Qahderijan.
He returned to Tehran to start his new career as the director of the security sector of the Assembly of Experts. Following Imam Khomeini’s decree to establish the twenty million army, he went to Qahderijan and began training Basij forces. He was the director of the Shahid Beheshti Camp in Bagh-e Abrisham for five months before going to the residence of Imam Khomeini (ra), where he served as a member of the security team for six months. When the Kurdish insurgency broke out, Ebrahimi was deployed to Kurdistan, where he spent six months managing the deployment of forces to suppress the counter-revolutionaries.
With the onset of the Iran-Iraq War, Ebrahimi spent most of his time on the front lines. After getting married in 1982 he took his wife to Kurdistan. He participated in Operation Thamen al-Aemeh (the liberation of Abadan) and then returned to Kurdistan to manage troop deployments. Later on, Ebrahimi became the IRGC Coordinator in Sanandaj and spent three months in Hussainabad. In the meantime, he was appointed the commander of the Jundallah Battalion in Sanandaj, which consisted of the Army, IRGC, and Gendarmerie forces. He was shot and injured for the first time when clearing one of the places near Sanandaj. He was taken to Sanandaj Hospital and then transferred to Isfahan. After recovering, he returned to Kurdistan. With the formation of the Beit al-Muqaddas Brigade in Sanandaj, Ebrahimi became the Deputy Commander of Operations while also serving as the Deputy Brigade Commander. His second injury occurred in 1985 when conducting a clearing mission in the Marivan region, resulting in the cut of nerves in his left hand's two fingers.
Being awarded the black belt in Taekwondo reflects Ebrahimi’s expertise in martial arts.
In Operation Valfajr 9, he was tasked with the reconnaissance. On February 26, 1986, while carrying out this mission with Haj Akbar Aqababaie, Ebrahimi was martyred after shrapnel from an artillery shell struck his head. He was buried in the Martyrs' Cemetery of Qahderijan. Also, his brother, Mahdi, had been martyred just fifteen days before, on February 11, 1986, during Operation Valfajr 8.[1]
