Memoirs of Akbar Hashemi – January 25, 1987

I came to the parliament on time. I learned about the two areas of Karbala Five and Karbala Six; They have not moved. Before the formalization of the parliament, I told the representatives about the state of war and in the speech before the order, I answered Reagan's warning. I stayed in the meeting until I breathed. There were many referrals from the representatives. The problems caused by the bombing of cities are many, but the victories of Karbala Panj have made it bearable. I spent the night in my office working on the backlog.

Mr. [Ali] Shamkhani [commander of IRGC ground forces] informed that the enemy had a foothold in three axes and was a little successful in the middle axis. He used a lot of chemicals last night. I said that if you take the initiative, you will not lose the forces in Patek; Delays dazzle the enemy. He wanted the army to take over the defense lines that the IRGC has to train more forces.

Mr. Sanjaghi informed that last night the launch of the Sahel missile into the Sea of ​​Sepah was done well, but so far no evidence of success has been received. At night, the leaders were guests in my office. I gave explanations about the war and we discussed current issues, Kuwait, interviews and the possibility of US aggression against Iran.
