Memoirs of Akbar Hashemi – April 26, 1986

Mr. [Mohsen] Kangerlu came and reported that the Americans say that the parts of Haq are ready for delivery, but they want to meet Kangerlu before the delivery. I said there is no problem, but apparently they are delaying the process with special purposes and do not have good intentions. They have acted in these films in the past.

Ali Al-Qaeda, they should be in more haste to release their hostages in Lebanon; Either they have a problem inside themselves or they are trying to carry out a conspiracy. We should deal with caution and we should not say anything about the hostages and only say that if they prove their good intentions by handing over the hack parts, we will start taking action to save the hostages and after taking action we can say what we will do.

Dr. [Mohammed Ali] Hadi came and talked about the inter-parliamentary congress and his issues. Colonel Jamali came. He was worried about the propaganda against him regarding accepting Mr. Mohsen Rezaei's replacement and wants to cancel that order. I said that after the cooperation between the army and the IRGC becomes clear, we will cancel it, but he was not satisfied. He had also told Mr. Rezaei, and Mr. Rezaei came at night, and we discussed this matter, and solutions were proposed, but we did not reach a conclusion.

The main problem of the war is the lack of understanding between the army and the IRGC. The soldiers are not ready to go under the burden of the IRGC. They informed that Iraq attacked and failed in the southern island of Majnoon. Asr Efat had guests and they also referred to me.
