Memoirs of Akbar Hashemi – May 12, 1985

I was in the parliament at twenty-five minutes past six. As usual, I read the telex news and listened to American Farsi Radio to understand the propaganda lines desired by the Westerners. In the public meeting, we had a plan to formalize experimental dentists, which was very noisy, and the position of academicians and experimentalists is hostile. This plan was approved with adjustments.

After breathing, I came to my office. Mr. Sayad [Shirazi] came and asked for permission to carry out the new project he wanted; I agreed on the condition of continuing the action. In the opinion of Mr. [Ayatollah] Khamenei and I, it is unimportant.

At noon, several representatives of Mazandaran came with a person named Sayah. Mr. Sayah claims to have built a guided missile with a range of 150 kilometers and a weight of 250 kilograms, and he claims to have cooperated with the Nazis, and during the Shah's time, due to his fear of this type of missile, he was exiled to Mazandaran with the opposition of the Americans, and after the revolution, the IRGC and the army did not cooperate well with him. It took two months to deliver the first missile; He says that he has prepared the parts, but they are scattered.

Mr. Mousavi Damghani came and complained about the judge of Ramhormoz and the officials' failure to meet the needs of the people of Ramhormoz. In the evening, the families of the Lebanese martyrs and political ideological trainers of the committee came and I spoke for them.

We had a meeting of the central council of the [Islamic Republic] party, where the issues of restricting the party's work, closing down the party's advertisements, and making employees part-time, etc., were approved. At night, we had a meeting with Mr. [Ayatollah] Khamenei and Mr. [Vaez] Tabasi. Decisions were made about the quality of war management in the future and the integration of the IRGC units and ground forces, the unity of command and the reform of the IRGC Council. I came home at night.
