His defeat saw his exile to Xiaodong between 1922 and 1928 before returning to lead the Pardarian Revolutionary Resistance Command in the Pardarian Uprising. His leadership of the PRRC in the Pardarian Civil War saw the establishment of the National Republic in 1950 and the emergence of Sattarism as the guiding ideology. Despite initial opposition to the Pan-Zorasanist wing of the RMP, Sattari gave into popular pressure following the Khazi Revolution, and authorised the unification of Khazestan and Pardaran. He is revered as the founding father of the modern-day Union of Zorasani Irfanic Republics. | |

Under pressure from regime elites, he gave way to a Congress, where he lost decisively to Ali Sayyad Gharazi on 20 April 1953. Gharazi and his allies then launched the Corrective Revolution, which saw Khalatbari and his allies expelled from the party and ultimately imprisoned.

He is widely believed to have played a key role in the Assassination of Emir Mohammad bin Rashid, the monarch of the Riyhadi Confederation in 1973. In 1974, Al-Atassi oversaw the annexation of the Riyhadi Confederation into the UKP following the 1974 Riyadhi coup d'état. In 1975, the Irvadistan War began with a surprise Irvadi invasion of northern Khazestan. Despite being initially caught off-guard, the UKP stabilised the front by 1975 and began its counter-attack.
