Memoirs of Akbar Hashemi – October 15, 1986

I was sleeping in the parliament at night. I started working from the beginning. Mr. Hosni Saadi informed that the two heights that were taken yesterday have been returned.

Mr. Asmipour came at eight in the morning. He gave a report on the condition of oil centers, bomb damage, reconstruction, oil export problems and non-cooperation of other organizations. Mr. Mehdi Ghioran and his brother came. They complain about inappropriate dealings with marketers.

Mr. [Habibullah] Askarowaladi came. He asked for help for the Imam's relief committee to manage the families of destitute married soldiers. He asked Ayatollah Montazeri and Imam about the new issue and suggested strengthening private schools. Mr. [Kamal] Kharazi came. He brought new plans for war propaganda.

In the evening, the board of the parliament had a meeting. They informed that Iraq attacked the Shiraz airport and the Dez and Shahid Abbaspur dams and caused injuries. With the consultation of the heads of forces, it was decided to launch missiles at Baghdad. The IRGC Air Force was ordered to attack the communications area of ​​Baghdad. After the Fatah 1 operation in Kirkuk, Iraq's evil has increased.

At night, we were guests of Mr. Mousavi Ardabili. Most of the discussion was about the issue of Mr. Montazeri. I reported my meeting with him. About his proposal to give a new report based on the facts from the Ministry of Information - he claims that a wrong report was given to the Imam - there was a discussion and decision. It was decided that Ayatollah Khamenei will go to Qom tomorrow to complete the work. One opinion was that there is no obstacle to release Seyed Mahdi and his people after completing the interrogations.
