Following his impeachment on June 21, Abolhassan Banisadr, the first President of Iran after the 1979 revolution, faced increasing hostility and threats to his safety. Fearing for his life and staging a dramatic escape, Banisadr fled Iran in a Boeing 707, with the assistance of Massoud Rajavi, the leader of the People's Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI). This flight was notable not only for its daring nature but also for the political implications it carried during a tumultuous period in Iran's post-revolution history. Colonel Behzad Moezzi, a pilot of the Iranian Air Force, flew the aircraft, highlighting the complex relationships within Iran's military and political infrastructure at the time. Banisadr's departure marked a pivotal moment for the opposition against the ruling Islamic Republic, as it signified a shift toward organized resistance and the formation of the National Council of Resistance of Iran as a formal entity aimed at overthrowing the regime. This council would play a major role in the ongoing struggle against the Iranian government, seeking support from expatriated Iranians and the international community to amplify their cause. Banisadr and Rajavi's efforts were focused on uniting various opposition groups under a common banner to challenge the policies and practices of the Islamic Republic.
