Memoirs of Akbar Hashemi – January 22, 1986

I went to the assembly early in the morning. The commander of the air force came with a group of pilots to celebrate the success of taking pictures from the enemy front. I spoke for them in detail. I read the reports. The civil war is still going on in South Yemen. The hands of the Soviets are also involved. The headquarters of Khatam al-Anbia camp had a meeting. We determined the time of the operation and discussed the cooperation of the IRGC and the army in the field of action and determining the responsibilities. Unfortunately, the difference in taste is time-consuming and annoying.

In the afternoon, Mr. Khair and [Hossein] Mousavian - the general director of the parliament's administration - came for their current work. In the evening, the chairman of the parliament had a meeting. Most of the discussion was about the administrative chart of the parliament. The positions of several general managers were removed and turned into departments, and only one general manager was considered for all departments; Some people must be upset.

I stayed in my office at night. The meeting of the heads of forces was not held, because Mr. [Ayatollah] Khamenei was arriving from a trip [abroad] at quarter past seven. The Prime Minister participated in welcoming him. I worked until the end of the night.

I signed the decrees of the parliament staff. Heavy snow began to fall, which is a source of happiness. Rainfall is low this year.
