Memoirs of Akbar Hashemi – January 9, 1985

I went to the assembly early in the morning. In the reports, it was not important. Mr. Sadam Jabr, the former ambassador of Libya and Mr. Gaddafi's envoy, came and brought his verbal message. He invited me to go to Libya. I stressed about the completion of the missile site. I participated in the meeting of representatives of Tehran. We approved some of the regulations.

At noon, Mr. Golsarkhi came. He gave a report on the performance of the headquarters of sending people's aid to the fronts. He complained about the irregularity of the front's supplies. asked for help

Mr. Rouhani came. He gave a progress report on the preparations for the operation; It is a bit behind. He is satisfied with the results of the test of the tav-like missile made by the IRGC and the ground-water bulldozer invented by the IRGC.

In the evening, Mr. Shahab, the deputy of Mr. Gharehi [Oil Minister] came. He wanted to blame the lack of oil and diesel on the Central Bank and the Planning and Budget Organization. For the answer of the oil minister to Mr. [Syed Mohammad] Kiavash's question about this, he was looking for a solution. Mr. Fouad Karimi is upset with the pressure of the court against him, for insulting Mr. Mozale.

At night, we went to Ayatollah Montazeri's house in Qom together with the heads of other forces. We are supposed to have a meeting once a month; To be held once in Qom and once in Tehran. We mostly listened to his criticisms about the distribution of goods, the judiciary, the [Islamic Republic] party, the radio and television, etc. We negotiated a bit about the plan of handing over the distribution to the private sector. He did not reach a definite conclusion. The government decided to determine the solutions. We arrived late in Tehran and I slept in Majlis.
