Memoirs of Akbar Hashemi – August 10, 1987

I came to the parliament on time. After seeing the reports, I went to the meeting at Khatam's headquarters, which lasted until noon. They reported that Iraq has attacked the Tabriz refinery and several oil centers in Khuzestan. We ordered reciprocation; This evil will probably continue.

The navy of the army informed that a mine was laid near the port of Fujairah. In the evening, the news arrived that a ship belonging to an American company, which had taken oil from us, was mined right here, and this is the beginning of a new trend. There was a discussion about countering the movement of the hypocrites in the fronts. A decision was made about land and sea fronts.

Mr. Mohsen Rezaei came after the meeting and more important plans were discussed. In particular, he regretted the martyrdom of around twenty Airborne Forces of the IRGC during the exercise, which is very bitter.

In the evening, the Indian ambassador came. I made a friendly criticism of the pressure on Muslims in India and advised them to adopt a policy of loving Muslims. The ambassador of Spain came and said that Spain has its own independent propaganda and is not subordinate to the NATO group, and accordingly, it does not accept the state of American interference in the Persian Gulf. I also spoke in the same context.

Mr. Saidi, the IRGC's information protection officer, came and informed that Seyyed Mehdi Hashemi recently confessed about his associates in the IRGC and brought a list. Mr. [Syed Hossein] Mousavian, the chief administrative officer of the parliament, came. He said about the problems he has with public relations. We decided to think about solving the problem and recommended understanding.

At night, we went to Mr. Khamenei's office to watch the movie "Report of a Murder". This film has criticized the Tudeh Party.
