Memoirs of Akbar Hashemi – March 24, 1988

I had a nightmare in my sleep last night, but it was short: I felt the weight of an animal on my body and I couldn't move. It was resolved by mentioning God and asking forgiveness; It is not unprecedented. This has happened to me many times.

After the prayer, Mohsen went to work. He eats breakfast at work. The guards served breakfast. I got the news from Voice of America radio. America has also condemned Iraq for using chemical weapons against the people of Halabja, and a good wave has arisen.

Mr. Sanjaghi informed that, last night, our forces captured a height in the operational area of ​​Wal-Fajr 10, which was used by hand. The weather has become cold, God forbid that it does not reach the level of frost and freezing of agricultural products. Usually in this season when the flowers open, the weather gets cold for a few days.

I went to the parliament to interview foreign journalists. I read the reports until half past ten in the morning. We have carried out the fifth stage of Wal-Fajr 10 operation last night and it was successful.

At half past ten, when the interview session was ready, the situation turned red and five Iraqi missiles hit Tehran. Probably, this time was chosen to disrupt my interview and it was influenced by the fifth stage of Operation Valfajr 10. I went to the interview session and the sixth rocket arrived at the same moment, but the audience and I kept our cool and the interview went well. Before the interview, I spoke a few sentences. And then I answered the questions; The interview lasted until noon.

In the afternoon, Mr. [Feridon] Mahdinejad gave a report on the preparation for special operations. I came home after lunch. In the evening, I read reports and watched videos.

Mohsen came late. He had gone to test the 120-kilometer IRGC [Sajil] missile - test on the platform. In the test, the missile's nozzle melted and the continuation of the work has been postponed until the construction of a more resistant nozzle.

Mr. Seyed Ahmed Mousavi came from Lebanon and brought a report of the results of the investigation of the British ambassador in East Beirut, about the fate of [Seyd Mohsen] Mousavi and [Ahmed] Metouslian, [Taqi] Rastgar Moghadam and [Kazim] the kidnapped brothers. They give the probability that they are alive; They have been traced to a Falangist prison.
