Memoirs of Akbar Hashemi – December 6, 1987

I woke up in the morning and did not sleep again. I called home. In the morning, we went to Qeshm Island with several helicopters. We saw the new wharf of the port administration, which was built by a Turkish company. It has problems. From there, we went to the island's sweet gas collection site. They said that they take gas from five wells and send it to Bandar Abbas power plant.

We went to a place where the two beaches of Bandar Abbas and Qeshm are close together. They are less than two kilometers away. It is proposed to connect Qeshm Island to the north coast with a bridge so that the situation of the island will improve. Because of the current situation, they say that it should be spent on war; Let's check it.

From there we went to Tanb Islands. We saw the little snake from inside the helicopter. We have no power there and there is no need. It can be defended with artillery from the Big Tenb. We disembarked at the big tank. At the navy headquarters, we got to know the situation of the island and its defense facilities through the model of the island. It is an interesting island. It can be green headed. It also has fresh water. There were good heights there. We wandered around the island for a while and saw everywhere. We saw a ship hit by a missile - Iran Javad - which had recovered and was sitting on the mud next to the island. It is suggested to take Khark for defensive position.

The hovercraft arrived. We went to watch. Its pilot gave explanations. We got on board and circled the island. It is a good tool. It moves one meter above the surface of water or land and speeds up to about one hundred kilometers.

We returned to Bandar Abbas. Prayers, lunch and rest were held at the IRGC Naval Center near Shahid Bahonar Port. Then we went to the island of time. The army is responsible for the defense of the island. We also checked their situation. They have many needs. A Singapore-flagged oil tanker was hit in the south of the island, near the coast of Oman. Its fire could be seen from afar. They explained.

From there we jumped to Lark Island. It was near sunset. We visited several IRGC defense positions. The responsibility of defending the island lies with the Corps. They live in half-finished naval buildings built before the revolution.

In the first night, we fired two illuminating shells from the 130 mm cannon on the same area of ​​the burning ship. We went to the headquarters of construction jihad. We prayed Maghrib and negotiated with them. They have come for combat engineer work.

At night, we came to Bandar Abbas naval headquarters by helicopter and arrived at eight o'clock in the evening. We got the news. After having dinner, we saw a video of the sighting of the Singaporean ship that was taken by the Corps today.
