Memoirs of Akbar Hashemi – December 1, 1987

Yaser was leaving the training barracks to go to the front. I read a travel prayer for him. Chastity had prepared a mirror of the Quran and charity, and he sent her off very well. I liked it Truly, there has been an unexpected transformation in mothers.

I came to the parliament. I started the meeting and gave a short talk about Martyr Modares and maneuvers. At 8:30 I went to the Majlis of Baharestan. Before the start of the Madras International Congress - on the occasion of the 50th anniversary of his martyrdom - we saw the exhibition. We attended the meeting. The meeting was opened and I gave a detailed speech. At 11:30 I went to Majlis Hospital to fix my teeth.

In the afternoon, Mr. [Ali Mohammad [Basharti], acting minister of foreign affairs, came and brought gifts from Iranian embassies for the war. In the afternoon, Mr. Mehdi Akhundzadeh, our ambassador in England, came. He talked about the effects of the normalization of relations between Iran and France on France's European partners and England's anger, and discussed the renewal of relations with England. I gave a positive opinion, provided that England took the lead in straining relations. He brought financial contributions from Iranians living in England amounting to 26 thousand dollars to spend in the war.

In the evening, the members of the Lebanese Army Council came and reported the work, needs and problems. They complained about the non-cooperation of our civilian officials in Lebanon.

I participated in the meeting of the Supreme Council of the Cultural Revolution. We made a decision to solve the problem of the probationary students and discussed about the suspended students and decided to solve their problem gradually. I went home at night. Yasser called that the training camp did not accept him because of his age and height and sent him back to the barracks. He begged me to accept him.
