Through his photos, he contributed to mythologizing the resistance of his army by exalting the heroic dimension of the fighters. However, he discovers the appalling reality of a conflict that sees Iran sending its troops to the massacre and understands that the power uses his photos to give the youngest the desire to become martyrs and spread the Shiite ideology, in order to export its revolution.
