Memoirs of Akbar Hashemi – November 12, 1983

I was at home most of the day. I was studying and writing. In the morning, Mrs. Ahmad Agha called and asked about the family problems of one of the officials of the revolutionary institutions. At eleven o'clock I arrived at the Imam's service. I negotiated and consulted about the war and other issues. They agreed to establish good relations with the Soviet Union in order to scare the West from adventuring in the Persian Gulf and to have facilities in case of getting involved in the Strait of Hormuz and closing the entry and exit routes of the necessities. Regarding the Haqqani school in Qom, which the guardian wants to take from the school administrators, at the request of Mr. Janati, I asked them to advise the guardian. It was also discussed about Mr. Rabbani [Amleshi] and the Friday prayer.

In the afternoon, Mr. [Mohammed Hasan] Rahimian and Mr. Mehri came from Qom and consulted me about the work of the key to the Qur'an. Then I went to Al-Mahdi Mosque to participate in the Fatiha ceremony of my niece Kazem Davodinejad. Mr. [Ali Asghar] Baghani [the representative of Sabzevar] was giving a speech.

I went to the parliament, I did administrative work. Colonel Sayad Shirazi came. He said about the dispute they have with the IRGC regarding the continuation of the Wal-Fajr 4 operation; I was supposed to take care of it. In the evening, we had a meeting of the Supreme Council of Defense and there was a discussion about this. The opinion of the army was confirmed. They talked about the limits of the authority of the Commission for the purchase of weapons and the protection of information of the army and the problems of nuclear energy. I interviewed after the meeting. Then we had a meeting with the ground force commander for future operations. It was discussed and agreed. The problem of joint command of two forces in one camp was temporarily solved; But this problem is still annoying. I went to the assembly late and slept.
