After the morning prayer, I read the reports and listened to the radios until eight o'clock in the morning. Although our victory in Karbala Panj is admitted to some extent, but we are still trying to maintain the spirit of Iraqis.
Mr. [Ali] Shamkhani [commander of IRGC Ground Forces] and Mr. [Mohammed] Bagheri [Deputy Information Officer of IRGC Ground Forces] came from the front. They gave a full report. They believe that if the facilities are mobilized, we can win the war right here; The Iraqi army has been hit hard. Mr. Bagheri gave the statistics of the destruction of Iraqi forces; If it is true, it is a serious blow.
[Iraqi army] brought about a hundred brigades to the field and eighty percent of them were damaged. He can use twenty other untouchable types. Of course, he also uses the injured. There are three axes for the continuation of the operation. All in all, the axis chosen by the IRGC commanders is the most important, although Mr. [Ayatollah] Khamenei and I previously relied on another axis. They wanted to strengthen engineering, defense and artillery. Mr. Rafiq Dost claims that we are not in trouble in terms of ammunition.
Dr. Rouhani and Colonel Torabi who came from the west reported the situation there. All in all, they have no hope for a significant success of the army. They say that it is possible to capture the two small heights of Shermil and Tepe Sorkheh. I told Dr. Rouhani to move some Orelikon [cannons] forward to strengthen the defense of the line and also move the Hawk missile site forward. In the evening Mr. [Mohammed Ali] Ansari also gave a telephone message on behalf of the Imam in this regard.
In the afternoon, we discussed and made a decision with Mr. [Mohammed] Faruzandeh [engineering officer of Khatam camp] about strengthening the engineering of the line. It was decided to repair the damaged units and take heavy machinery from government agencies. Most of the evening was spent reading reports. Acknowledging Iraq's defeat is slowly gaining popularity. I asked Mr. Ray Shahri about the three fires in Kuwait. explained
Mr. Rezaei informed on the phone that the artillery fire of the enemy was intense today and we retreated a little. Late at night, Mr. Rahim Safavi and Mr. [Mortaza] Ghorbani [Commander of the 25th Karbala Division] came. They expressed concern about the tremendous pressure of the enemy's artillery and air force on the axis of advance towards Basra and demanded the strengthening of defense, artillery and engineering. It seems that they are having trouble moving forward and the predictions of last night and this morning have given way to worry.
