ChatGPT said: ChatGPT Memoirs of Akbar Hashemi - March 14, 2002 - Meeting with Ayatollah Khamenei

A meeting with members of the Assembly of Experts with Ayatollah Khamenei revealed that he has delegated his powers under Clause 1 of Article 110 of the Constitution to the Expediency Council, raising expectations from this body.

An eye examination at Noor Medical Center was conducted by Seyed Hassan Ghazizadeh Hashemi, who later became the Minister of Health and Medical Education. He was the last guest of Hashemi on the day of his death. Informally, it is reported that the burial permit for Hashemi was issued by him without judicial review, which is typically required even for suspicious deaths.

A meeting with Sheikh Abbas Vaez Tabasi included a discussion about sending a message to Sheikh Abbas Ali Alizadeh, the head of the Tehran judiciary, urging him to publicly trial his son, Naser. Naser Vaez was later acquitted of the charges against him. The meeting also addressed the current problems at the university and the establishment of a comprehensive Razavi University.

The report on the passing of Seyed Ahmad Khomeini was attended by Ayatollah Khamenei despite severe back pain, where Hashemi sent a draft for the new members of the Expediency Council. Despite Hashemi’s insistence on retaining Mohsen Nourbakhsh and Gholamreza Aghazadeh, Ayatollah Khamenei only accepted Hashemi’s suggestion for Aghazadeh.

Complete Entry:

Early in the morning, I went to Noor Medical Center for an eye examination, accompanied by Iftah. Dr. Seyed Hassan Ghazizadeh Hashemi and Dr. Seyed Mehdi Razavi examined me; the situation has not changed much from a few years ago. Cataracts have developed, but they do not significantly affect my vision. We discussed the possibility of cataract surgery and lens implantation, and it was decided to conduct further examinations. Iftah's eye condition is better than mine. Mr. Hosseini, the head of the center, complained about the administrative bureaucracy hindering the procurement of advanced equipment.

I went to my office and reviewed reports. At ten o'clock, I went to meet the leadership, where members of the Assembly of Experts had also gathered. Mr. Ali Meshkini and Mr. Ibrahim Amini presented their reports, and the leadership gave a comprehensive and good speech. I returned to my office, where Mr. Abbas Vaez Tabasi, the custodian of the Astan Quds Razavi, arrived. He mentioned that he advised the head of the Tehran judiciary to publicly trial his son Naser to quell rumors. Discussions were held regarding the expansion of Razavi University, aiming to reach my proposal for establishing a comprehensive university for religious studies.

In the evening, I attended a speech at the memorial ceremony for Hojjat Ahmad Khomeini at the Imam Khomeini mausoleum. The leadership was present, but his back pain prevented him from staying for long; he has been suffering from severe back pain for several days. He mentioned that a list of members for the new term of the Expediency Council had been prepared and would be sent to me for my input.

I visited the exhibition on converting vehicles to natural gas at the Enghelab Stadium. Mehdi, the head of the Fuel Consumption Optimization Organization, managed the event. The plan involves using CNG instead of LPG. Mehdi reported that by the year 2021, around 15 million vehicles are expected to be converted, potentially saving $120 billion, in addition to environmental health benefits and increased oil reserves or exports. I toured the compressors, tanks, stations, kits, and vehicles, and an interview was conducted.

That evening, I received a letter from the leadership's office stating that five current members of the council would be reduced, and six new members would be added, indicating that the balance of preferences would not change significantly. The killing in Palestine continues, and the UN Security Council resolution is criticized by Palestinian militants.
