Memoirs of Akbar Hashemi – November 14, 1984

I studied for Friday prayer sermons. In the evening, Mr. Ayubi, the head of the evaluation unit of the Supervisory Council [Sadasima], came and complained about the letter of the director of Channel 1.

At night, we went to see the Prime Minister. We were guests of the Prime Minister with other heads of forces. A decision was made about the formation of the Supreme Council of the Cultural Revolution instead of the headquarters of the Cultural Revolution, with the participation of the heads of the forces, to propose to the Imam, by their own order. It was agreed to postpone the trial of Tudeh party leaders until the end of the war and to strengthen relations with the Soviet Union in order to prevent the West from taking advantage of the cold relations between Iran and the Soviet Union.

It was agreed that the right to use the Khorram building, which was previously in the hands of Mr. [Sheikh Ali Asghar] Marwarid, will be given to him as a library. They talked about paying foreign currency to military industries and Mr. Velayati informed that Mr. [Abdul Halim] Khaddam [Syrian Vice President] will come to Iran soon with a message from Mr. Hafez Assad and also the Minister of Foreign Affairs of China. I came home late.
