Memoirs of Akbar Hashemi – April 6, 1985

I woke up early in the morning with the sound of anti-aircraft fire. It turned out that the Iraqi planes dropped two bombs in Tehran, one of which did not work and the other fell in a distant place, injuring four people. Last night, three rockets were fired at Ilam and West Islamabad, which hit mountains, and two rockets in Kermanshah resulted in 13 martyrs. I spoke with Ayatollah Khamenei. It was decided not to fight back today, so that the war between the cities might calm down.

In the meeting of the Broadcasting Council, we discussed more political, military and propaganda discussions. It was reported that Iraq has fired rockets at the cities of Dezful, Nahavand and Ramhormoz, and since last night, it has fired a total of ten rockets, most of which were ineffective or ineffective. In Dezful, there were four missiles, only one was martyred.

In the afternoon, her mother and sisters - Fatima and Tayyaba - were our guests. Mr. Prime Minister informed that missiles made by military industries with a range of 40 km are ready for use. I told the consulting office to arrange their training and employment by the ground or air force. I told Dr. Velayati to demand the new batch of missiles from Libya.

At night, Mr. [Kamal] Kharazi consulted about giving a warning to the Iraqi people for missile attacks tomorrow - which is the anniversary of the establishment of the Baath Party and the Secretary General of the United Nations is also going to Baghdad - which was not agreed upon. The news of the coup d'état of the Sudanese army does not die in the absence of [Jaafar], and on the eve of his arrival in Cairo from the United States, it is the most important news of the day.
