Memoirs of Akbar Hashemi – July 25, 1984

I stayed at home today. I was studying the states of Imam Sadiq (a.s.). [number] We have changed the home phones and few people know about the new grades. Telephone inquiries are few. Usually, after a period of time when many people have learned the [number] of the phones, we have to change [the phone numbers] due to protection and security issues. The commander of Seyyed al-Shohda brigade, who is supposed to be a line breaker in future operations, was worried about the plan being leaked and its problems.

In the evening, Mr. Sayad [Shirazi] and Mr. [Mohsen] Rezaei came; They brought the results of negotiations and consultations [about carrying out the operation]. No significant progress was observed in the necessary decisions and Mr. Rezaei officially announced his opposition to the implementation of the Walfajr Hasht plan. While showing readiness to implement the order, they did not pretend to oppose it.

At night, we were guests of Ahmad Agha. Mr. [Ali Akbar] Velayati, [Mousavi] Ardabili, [Ayatollah] Khamenei and [Mir Hossein] Mousavi. Imam also participated in this meeting; They are fine. There was a discussion about Hizbollah's demonstrations against hijabi. Some people think that it was a good thing and that this demonstration was a threat to those without hijabs, while the Ministry of Interior has also taken a legal position. We also agreed on the positive effects of [Hans Dietrich] Genscher's [West German Foreign Minister] trip and the arrival of Saud al-Faisal from Saudi Arabia. There was a discussion about the necessity of developing strong regulations for the payment of currency - which currently does not have a proper system. I talked with Ahmad Agha about the usefulness of meeting the opposition representatives of the government with the imam - which [the opposition representatives] have requested themselves; It was decided to ask permission from the imam. I came home late.
