Early in the morning [Admiral Malekzadegan], the commander of Nadaja [= Islamic Republic of Iran Navy] informed that last night an American cruiser named Stark was hit by an Iraqi missile and caught fire. It has caused a lot of human casualties and the ship is tilted and is burning. America has given the news and our ships are monitoring the situation.

Until noon, I was regularly informed about the situation in the Persian Gulf. Following the damage of two Soviet ships, this incident is very interesting and is a manifestation of the unseen aid for Islam and the revolution.

Haj Ahmad Agha came in the evening. We discussed this issue and the war. informed that he had told the Imam's message to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to allow a German official to bring a message regarding the hostages to the officials; Sadegh Tabatabai is looking for it, provided that he is acquitted. Iftar, the children were guests of cousin Ashikh Hossein [Hashemian] and I was left alone.

In the evening, I took the Farsi program [Radio Voice of America] to learn about the issues of the missile carrier. Reagan gave a speech and promised to be tough, but the Pentagon declared that the Iraqi action was a mistake. It seems that they want to put the noise to sleep. Iraq has accepted the responsibility and promised compensation.
