Memoirs of Akbar Hashemi – November 10, 1987

At half past eight in the morning, I went to Hosseinieh Jamaran with the participants in the seminar to visit the Imam. The Imam spoke, but did not say anything about the war and mobilization, although the members of the seminar who were in Hosseini were told that the Imam would speak about this.

Previously, they were supposed to send a message to the seminar, but they didn't. Waiting for the conversation. Apparently, their opinion is that too much is being advertised to send troops to the front. We talked with Mr. Khamenei and Mr. Ahmad Agha. It was decided to talk about this in tomorrow's meeting with the imam. It seems to have caused doubts among the members of the seminar.

Before noon, Mr. Sheikh Mohammad Hashemian came and talked about the issues of Kerman province in the upcoming elections and the confiscation of Sheikhiya's property, which it seems that some people are trying to free it. Messrs. Sheikh Hossein [Hashemian] and Akrami and a group of relatives came. They talked about general issues.

Mr. Torabi informed, based on the wiretapping, there have been resistances against the Baghdad police for two or three days, and there have been clashes and riots, but this news has not been confirmed elsewhere.

In the evening, Mr. Maadikhah came for the affairs of the history compilation foundation, and Mr. Ayazi came to get pamphlets related to the key of the Quran and consultation. At night, a group of relatives came.

They brought the reports, I read them. Some sources claim that the differences between Iraq and Syria have been resolved in the Arab conference in Jordan and that Saddam and Hafez Assad have reconciled, but the depth of this is not clear.
