Memoirs of Akbar Hashemi – June 27, 1988

Prayer and Quran, writing memoirs and listening to foreign and domestic radio news. It's like the westerners don't want to rely on Iraq's victories and pass it by. Until noon, he spent studying the reports and statements of two Iraqi prisoners who were captured on the island and negotiating with Mr. Mohammadi Iraqi, the deputy of Imam's representative in the IRGC.

Mr. [Syed Mohammad Ali Mousavi] Jaziri Imam of Juma came to Ahvaz and expressed his concern about the current situation. In the afternoon until the end of the night, I negotiated with the commanders of the units involved in the island. Mr. Saifullah [Hyderpur, commander of the 48th Fatah Brigade], who had fought and defended well at Khandaq bridge until the others retreated and he was also ordered to retreat, reported; I encouraged the unit.

Mr. [Nabi] Rudaki, the commander of the 19th Fajr Division from Fars, claims in his report that his forces have acceptable resistance, and considers the chemical effect, especially the cyanide gas, and the failure of the line on both sides of his unit, which is defended by other units, to be the cause of the final lack of resistance, and he claims that there were around two hundred casualties; In addition to the injured.

The other units reported in the general meeting and spoke about the resistance and the intensity of the enemy's fire and the high chemical effect and the intensity of the enemy's human waves, who continued the attack with boats despite suffering too many losses and casualties, as well as the arrival of the enemy's armored forces in the Kushk area after the army line was broken and they reached the Seyyed al-Shohada road, which is one of the most important supply roads of the island, and the lack of a precautionary and urgent force.

But from the total flow, it can be seen that, except for one or two cases, the others did not have the necessary resistance, and the speed with which the chemically injured were discharged from the hospitals, which are almost empty, shows that the fear of the chemical was more effective than itself. From Tehran, Ayatollah Khamenei said on the phone that the rumor of my injury has increased.

Mr. Ali Hashemi's father, the commander of the Nusrat camp who managed Jazeera and Hor, came. His son is missing. After the enemy's helipad, there is no trace of him anymore, next to the camp where a group of people took refuge in the reeds. His companions have come and he has not come. He was in a good mood. His other two sons are also from the front.

I talked to Mr. Shamkhani about the General Staff. Mr. [Ahmed [Kazemi], [Mohammed] Javad [Vahaji] and [Mohammed Reza] Zahedi, the commanders of the Isfahan armies, came. The commanders of the army were complaining. They reported that the enemy has started attacks in Shamiran Horn.
