I arrived at the parliament at half past eight in the morning. A group of naval and Basij commanders had come. I gave them a detailed speech. The Turkish ambassador came to say goodbye. We did not have a good translator. More talk about praising and consolidating relations and preventing the disturbance of biased people and especially the press
I arrived at the parliament at half past eight in the morning. A group of naval and Basij commanders had come. I gave them a detailed speech. The Turkish ambassador came to say goodbye. We did not have a good translator. Most of the talk was about praising and consolidating relations and preventing the interference of biased people, especially the Turkish press and the presence of Iran's anti-revolutionary presence.
Mr. [Abulfazl] Rahnema came to Poland as our ambassador. He spoke about the good development of relations and gave six thousand dollars for khums of additional incomes on top of his own expenses. The delegation of the country of Mali headed by [Mr. Modibo Keita], the Minister of Foreign Affairs of this country, who is in Iran, came to meet. The conversations were general and friendly.
In the afternoon, Mr. [Ali Asghar] Hejazi, Deputy Minister of Information, came and gave a report on the limits of aid to the war and requested one and a half million dollars from the war credit for the purchase of long-range radios. I agreed.
Mr. Mohsen Rezaei came and spoke to justify sending Ali - Akhwazadeh - to negotiate with the Americans about the Lebanese hostages, which was not convincing and I said he was wrong. But in a way, I gave him the right, because he feels the need for weapons more than others, and on the other hand, he realized that the first phase is on the verge of a dead end, and he thought that the progress of the work would be better with my nephew on the scene. We had a meeting with the chairman of the parliament and then the negotiations continued with Mr. Rezaei. He explained the plan, goals and maneuvers of future operations.
The night of the meeting of the chiefs of forces was at the Prime Minister's residence. [Mr. Ali Akbar Velayati] Foreign Minister came. A decision was made regarding the policy of confrontation and conflicts in Lebanon between Amal and the Palestinians, the policy of future behavior with France, and possible funds left in Swiss banks by [Mohammed Reza] Shah [Pahlavi] and Nasiri [Chairman of SAVAK], and the continuation of the process of freeing hostages in Lebanon with the Americans, and the foreign minister's trip to Syria to obtain permission to use Syrian soil for operations in Iraqi soil, and to encourage Libya to send missiles and ammunition to Iran.
Mr. Ray Shahri brought Seyyed Mehdi Hashemi's interview tape. He cut and made a confession. I came to the parliament to sleep at night.
