As for the other three stamps, although they do not directly speak of martyrdom, they nonetheless illustrate this concept of righteous suffering well. The first, from 1983, seems to be dedicated to Ecology Week, but the scene with a burning platform and a departing MiG-23 or Mirage F-1 tells us that it's not just about that.

Overall, 1983 turned out to be a difficult year for the Nowruz field, located in the Persian Gulf. First, a tanker collided with platform No. 3, causing a significant list and subsequent shutdown, and then waves and corrosion did their job – the riser connection at the wellhead was damaged, and from late January to early February 1983, two hundred tons of oil (and by some estimates more than 250 tons) began flowing from the well into the Gulf waters daily.

It is worth mentioning that Iran's and Iraq's neighbors, before the Nowruz situation, were generally quite indifferent to both spill problems and the environmental impact of the oil and gas industry as a whole. Spill data could be distorted, kept secret due to "commercial confidentiality" or "national security," or not collected at all if the spill was small and could be quickly cleaned up.

The incompleteness and fragmentation of information was so high that, for example, the very fact of the tanker collision with platform No. 3 was dated by different Middle Eastern researchers to either 1981 or 1983.

Fortunately, only one well had been drilled from platform No. 3, but it was not quickly capped. Regaining control of the well and closing it was not possible for a long time due to the high intensity of combat operations in the area. A month later, in March, the ill-fated platform was raided by Iraqi aircraft, resulting in the ignition of a huge oil slick formed by the spill. The well was finally capped in mid-September 1983 at the cost of the lives of 11 Iranian oil workers.
