Memoirs of Akbar Hashemi – March 3, 1992

I was in my office at half past seven in the morning. After the work was done, the heads of Lebanon's Hezbollah came. They reported the affairs after the martyrdom of Seyyed Abbas [Mousavi]. Mr. Seyed [Hassan] Nasrallah, their new leader, has a situation similar to Seyed Abbas, and they expressed their satisfaction with the sympathy of the Lebanese people, officials and parties and Iran's support. I encouraged them. They asked for help to improve the situation; I promised

Mr. [Syed Mohammad Baqer] Hakim, [Speaker of the Supreme Assembly of the Islamic Revolution of Iraq] came and reported on his trip to Saudi Arabia; is satisfied Well, they have been delivered and in

Compared to other opponents of Iraq, they have given special importance to them. They have met with King Fahd [King of Saudi Arabia] and other leaders. They have expressed their trust and laid a foundation for cooperation to overthrow Saddam. I emphasized to continue this policy.

He was worried about the opposition of the leadership when I said that they did not oppose. He said that King Fahd said that before Iraq's invasion of Kuwait, Saudi Arabia and Kuwait had agreed to give the money demanded by Iraq and the Ramila and Bubiyan oil fields to Iraq as a long-term lease, but again, Saddam was not convinced and occupied Kuwait. But because Kuwait is offended by this statement, Fahd regretted telling this news in the meeting and asked Mr. Hakim to say: Fahd said that these were the demands of Iraq and not the agreement of Kuwait and Saudi Arabia.

Mr. [Seyd Kamal] Kharazi, [Permanent Representative of Iran to the United Nations] came. He reported the service in New York and said that Hoshang Ansari, [Minister of Economic Affairs and Finance during the Pahlavi period] who has a lot of influence in the White House, is willing to exert influence in favor of Iran. I told him to take action to return our property.

In the afternoon, Akhvi Mohammad, [the head of the Broadcasting Organization] came. He got help to complete the building of radio and television conferences and election propaganda policy. In the evening, I went to the officer college for the officer graduation ceremony and gave a speech.

I was the guest of the leadership that night, we talked about the negotiations between the Greeks, Namibians and Jordanians. We reviewed Mr. Hakim's report positively. Also, there was a discussion about the appointment of the deputy leadership, based on Mr. Meshkini's statements in the speeches before the order of the Assembly of Experts.

I came home early. Hajiya Walde and her sister Tayyaba and relatives who have returned from Umrah were our guests. We met and greeted. They are leaving for Nog tomorrow morning. Hajiya Bibi is having a good time in Noug and because they work there, they are healthier. Hossein-Hamshirezadeh-who came from Mashhad, gave a report of his work.
