According to Tasnim News Agency from Borujerd, on Saturday afternoon, June 15, 1404, after the Zionist regime's widespread attacks on Iranian soil and the targeting of the 24th Besat military base in Borujerd city, the sound of several massive explosions was heard near the city of Oshtorinan. The sound of missiles and successive explosions that broke the daily silence of the region indicated a new attack that had reached the heart of the local industry and economy. The Farda Motors automobile company, one of the largest automobile manufacturing units in Lorestan, was the direct target of this missile attack in the last days of June. Six missiles were fired by the Zionist regime at the factory, causing widespread fires and extensive damage to production lines, finished parts, and manufactured vehicles. In the first minutes after the incident, concerns about the fate of the factory's workers increased. Reports indicated that a large number of employees were injured and there were terrible fires. Workers' martyrdom on the production line After a few hours, the bitter news of the martyrdom of two workers and the injury of 32 others was officially announced. The bodies of martyrs Iman Goodarzi and Hossein Naghdi, two workers of Farda Motors Company, were buried from the Qiyam Square of Borujerd to the Golzar Martyrs' Cemetery of the city on Monday, June 16, 1404, and they rested next to other martyrs. Farda Motors Automobile Company, owned by the Golestan Business Group and the Gerami family, is one of the symbols of industrial progress in Lorestan. In 1401, this company launched its second production line by taking over the Zagros Khodro production line in Borujerd. Farda Motors Automobile Company is now located in the Ashtrinan section of the Borujerd-Malayar highway. The company's products include various models of Farda brand cars, including Farda 511, Farda T5, Farda SX5, Farda T5 Plus and Subaru M4, which have a significant share in the country's automobile market. Seyed Saeed Shahrokhi, the governor of Lorestan, confirmed the extensive damage caused by the attack during his field visit to the scene of the incident on the 7th of Khordad 1404, and said: "Every free person will realize the depth of the crime and lies of the Zionist regime by visiting this complex." Guaranteeing workers' rights He noted: Farda Motors Company was a source of income and livelihood for the women and children of workers who have been attacked with injustice and cruelty by the usurping Israeli regime. While condemning this cowardly attack, the governor of Lorestan called the family of the owner of the Golestan Business Group patriotic people with a brilliant record and stated: "The presence and commitment of this family to compensate for the damages and rebuild the company is a promise of a bright future." Seyed Ahmad Gerami, CEO of Farda Motors Company, who, alongside Dag The loss of his colleagues has also prioritized the recovery of the injured, saying: "With an iron will and a calm heart, we hope for a faster and stronger reconstruction of the company and we will fully guarantee the rights and benefits of the workers until the restart." Fatemeh Maghsoudi, representative of the people of Boroujerd and Oshtorinan in the Islamic Consultative Assembly, referring to the vital role of production and industry in the country's economy, emphasized: Production is a national category and the real jihad in this field is an effort to improve the economy and reduce inflation, and workers and investors are the frontline soldiers of this economic war. She added: "The attack on the Farda Motors complex, although bitter and cowardly, has strengthened our will to renovate the factory with the most modern equipment." 4600 billion tomans in damage Maghsoudi emphasized that the will of the people is stronger than all threats and enemy missiles, and with government support, this production unit will return to the economic cycle as soon as possible. The attack on a civilian factory and the martyrdom of defenseless workers are a clear sign of the oppressive and usurping nature of the Zionist regime. It is something that public opinion inside and outside the country has condemned and called a blatant crime. After a few days of this heartbreaking incident, the workers of Farda Motors returned to work with tearful eyes but with a firm will and hope for the future. About 600 of the company's employees were cleaning, removing debris, and rebuilding the factory environment with their own hands in order to restart the production cycle as soon as possible. Mohammad Ali Aslmarzi, head of the Boroujerd Department of Industry, Mine, and Trade, estimated the damage to the Farda Motors factory at four thousand and 600 billion tomans in an interview with Tasnim. The sprouting of an iron will, regarding the situation of the workers, said: No layoffs have been made, and the management of Farda Motors has committed to paying the salaries and insurance of the employees until the end of the reconstruction. The head of the Boroujerd Department of Industry, Mine, and Trade stated: The continuous presence of the workers for the reconstruction of the Farda Motors factory shows their empathy and firm determination to return this unit to its peak days. The attack on the heart of Boroujerd's industry left a deep wound on the economy and the families of the workers; but each wound became a reason for the germination of an iron will and an invincible spirit. The people who have stood against oppression and terror with all their hardships testify that neither missiles, nor threats, nor oppression will ever be able to bring the national will to its knees. The martyrdom of the innocent workers of Farda Motors is a golden leaf in the book of honors of this nation's resistance; and the reconstruction of each piece of this factory is a hymn to the honor of life, resistance, and boundless hope.
