Memoirs of Akbar Hashemi – June 1, 1987

At eight in the morning, together with Mr. Khamenei, we went to see the Imam. We got his agreement to answer the letter requesting to stop party operations. We asked about war operations in the forbidden months. They said that because there is a risk of equipping the enemy more and hurting Islam, there is no obstacle.

I came to my office. Engineer Behzad Nabavi [Minister of Heavy Industries] came. He demanded that restrictions on the establishment of industries should be specified in Sased law [= Defense Industries Organization]; Contrary to Turkan engineer's opinion.

The officials of Mustafahan Foundation came. They reported and I also spoke. Mr. [Reza] Amrollahi [head of the Atomic Energy Organization] came for nuclear affairs. Mr. [Moussi] Refan [commander of IRGC Air Force] came. He reported the status of anti-aircraft sites and missiles. He complained about the lack of facilities and lack of cooperation of the Air Force.

In the evening, I attended the meeting of Tehran University. On the occasion of the Majlis week, some colleges have organized a ceremony for three days. I talked about legislation and answered questions. I reached home in the evening.

I took a letter signed by myself and Ayatollah Khamenei to the imam asking us to get an assignment about stopping the activities of the Islamic Republic Party based on the negotiations we had discussed. Imam's answer arrived at eleven o'clock at night; It was not bad. It prevents the subsequent disturbances of ill-wishers. We sent it to the [Islamic] Republic newspaper for first publication tomorrow. We are worried that if the truth is not announced by us sooner, it will be published by ill-wishers in another way. Many would like it to be reflected that the imam has ordered the dissolution of the party, and this will be harmful to the members of the party and to the idea of ​​"Tehizb" in general.
