Tank-Khorha is an Iranian television series directed by Parviz Sheikh-Tadi, written by Mohammad Sadegh Ramezani-Moghaddam, produced by Iraj Mohammadi, and edited by Manouchehr Sanei. It aired on Iran’s Channel 3 from October 7 to November 18, 2024 (15 Mehr to 28 Aban 1403 in the Persian calendar). The series was produced between 2023 and 2024.
Initially known during early production and announcements as Jan-e Baradar (Brother’s Soul), the title was later changed to Tank-Khorha. The series began development in the Film and Series Group of Channel 3, but following the dissolution of the film and series groups across IRIB networks, production continued under the Sima Film Center.
The story of this series, drawn from the oral history of the Sacred Defense fighters, revolves around a man named **Hashem Maleki** (played by Arash Majidi). In the early months of the Iran-Iraq War, he works alongside his brother Hamed (Mohammad Hadi Dibaji) and his close apprentice and friend Mohsen (Soroush Jamshidi) at a garage in the city of Mashhad, producing and repairing automotive parts. Hashem’s main challenges begin when Hamed heads to the front lines, an event that combined with the schemes of his business rivals—creates a series of adventures for him.
