Memoirs of Akbar Hashemi – June 3, 1987

I arrived at Imam's service at half past eight in the morning. He did not intend to speak at the meeting of parliament members. I asked them to speak briefly, which was accepted. The representatives and their families had gone to meet the Imam. I spoke and asked the imam to help the parliament in approving fundamental laws in accordance with jurisprudence. The Imam also spoke briefly. I came to the parliament. I read the reports until eleven o'clock.

[Brigadier Hosni Saadi] the commander of the army's ground forces informed that they have conducted a successful and limited operation in Mimak. Its name was decided to be "Nasr 2". At eleven o'clock in the morning, the Corps engineering unit came. They reported work, I also spoke. [Brigadier Jalali] the Minister of Defense came and demanded more currency. He objected to the decision of the advisory group in dividing the currency.

In the evening, the board of the parliament had a meeting. I participated in a press interview. Journalists had become sensitive about the issue of party closure and my statements today in the service of the Imam, and the importance of the Persian Gulf issue was also evident.

Mr. [Ferydoun] Mahdinejad [= Verdinejad] came. He consulted about foreign activities and considered the documents of the purchase of arms from the Americans, which I had, for the compilation of the book. Mr. Abdullah Nouri came and complained about Dr. Rouhani.

The night of the meeting of the heads of forces was in my office. It was supposed to help to create peace in Lebanon. They talked about the war and the situation in the Persian Gulf, and the government demanded the mobilization of army and IRGC trucks to bring goods from the ports and activate Mahshahr port and send convoys of ships there.
