How Ayatollah Al-Hashem Reacted to Triplet Brothers Seeking Employment: An Unusual Encounter

According to the political desk of Saed News, reporting from Fars, it was a 31-year-long friendship — and not just any friendship, but one of deep loyalty — a companionship of hammam and garden, shared with the late Hajj Agha Al-Hashem, the beloved and people-oriented Friday Prayer Leader of Tabriz.

Now you may ask: who is this loyal friend who served him for 31 years and proudly says he had the honor of serving this good companion for over three decades?

I went to the ideological and political department of the 21st Hamzeh Division to meet this friend — a man whose shared memories are too numerous for words to contain. How can one possibly narrate 31 years of closeness and living under the same roof in a single report?

So, with our humble means, each day we turn a page from the shared memories of Lieutenant Colonel Saeed Arzi, head of public relations and propaganda of the 21st Hamzeh Division, with Hajj Agha Al-Hashem.

The Triplet Soldiers
When he was head of the Army’s Ideological and Political Office, three triplet brothers from Tehran were serving under him. He had a special bond with them. They were originally from Tabriz. After completing their military service, they returned to Tabriz. One day, one of them came and said, “Hajj Agha, write me a letter so I can apply for a job at the petrochemical plant.” Two days later, the second brother came with the same request. Three or four days after that, the third brother showed up and said the same thing. Hajj Agha laughed and said, “How many letters do you expect me to write for you guys?”
