Memoirs of Akbar Hashemi – November 5, 1983

I was at home and studying until the evening. I wrote a detailed letter in response to the freedom movement and reminded them of their mistakes and bad deeds and wrong positions. I advised them to stop conspiracy and divisiveness. Mr. Ahmad came. I consulted with him about the contents of the letter; Some things were added.

Front news says that the Iraqis have taken back the 1900 hill and we are fighting over the 1904 hill. They have gained new strength, but we hope to bring them back soon. I went to the assembly in the evening. I did the work. I participated in the Economic Council meeting. The report of the work done in the goods distribution department was given and I reflected Mr. Montazeri's objections regarding the distribution. The main discussion was about inflation factors. Ways of treatment were proposed. About fourteen fields of actions were identified, and expert commissions were supposed to give opinions and suggestions in each field and bring it up in the council.

After the meeting, I discussed the letter that I had written to Engineer Bazargan in response to his letter and pointed out the mistakes of the Azadi movement, with the president and prime minister and Ahmad Agha. The original letter was approved and the corrections were made. I went to the assembly to sleep.

It was reported that this evening, Iraq launched rockets at three cities of Andimeshk, Masjid Suleiman, and Behbahan and attacked the city of Nahavand from the air. In total, around 70 people were martyred and hundreds of people were injured; Due to the weakness of its forces, Iraq has sent the presidential guard to Panjvin. As a result of weakness in the fronts, they cowardly attack residential and civilian centers with long-range missiles and airplanes.
