Memoirs of Akbar Hashemi – August 25, 1984

I was at home all day and spent most of my time studying. Before noon, Ahmad Agha came. They talked about the war and the amendment of the constitution and the current situation of the country and the differences between the two political lines and information. It was decided that I will go to visit the Imam the day after tomorrow.

We had a meeting of the Supervisory Council of Radio and Television. About foreign films, the self-sufficiency of Sedavasima Kindergarten, the Malta contract [about the purchase of a transmitter] and foreign policy, a decision was made. In the evening, Mr. [Abdul Majid] Maadikhah came. The budget and facilities of the "History Compilation Foundation" were negotiated; He asked me to speed up the work with the powers given to me by the founding board.

At night, Mr. Sayad [Shirazi] and [Mohsen] Rezaei came. We reached a preliminary agreement to break the war management deadlock. It was decided that after presenting the operational plans of the army and the IRGC, Mr. [Ayatollah] Khamenei and I will make a decision.

They brought the reports, I read them. One of the Turkish military officials has said that in pursuit of the Kurds who oppose Türkiye, they have penetrated into the territory of Iran and Iraq. From other sources, this word is not confirmed. I talked to Dr. Velayati [Minister of Foreign Affairs] about this on the phone. I asked him to warn the Minister of Science to work with the students. Yesterday, the Prime Minister [Mirhossein Mousavi] said that they want to remove them from the "Cultural Revolution Headquarters". I also talked with [Mr. Natiq Nouri] the Minister of the Interior about the responsibility of protecting [officials].
