Memoirs of Akbar Hashemi – November 28, 1991

I woke up at half past four in the morning and did not sleep again. In the news, the American pressure on Israel and its neighbors to start negotiations in America and the American, French and British pressure on Libya for the issue of the plane crash are important.

The work was done until nine o'clock in the morning. Timsar [Ali] Shamkhani and the commanders of the naval force came on the occasion of the 7th of Azar, the day of the naval force; They reported and I spoke. In a private negotiation, Mr. Shamkhani said about the non-cooperation of the Joint Staff of the Army and the obstruction of the participation of the armed forces in the reconstruction.

Expediency Council had a meeting. The plan to support the martyrs was in the order, but it was not completed and it was decided to be more specialized. The Islamic Penal Code, which was referred to the Assembly due to the dispute between the Guardian Council and the Majlis, was approved in favor of the Majlis' opinion.

Dr. [Hasan] Rouhani came. He gave notes for my speech at [the meeting of heads of the Islamic Conference Organization] in Senegal. Mr. [Mohammed] Momin asked me to intervene to solve Mr. Montazeri's problem.

In the evening, I did the work and came home. Faezeh and her children had come to receive them. I warned Mr. [Abdullah] Nouri to deal with the strike issue of some teachers in Urmia. He said that the hand of Shahdoost [= royalists] was seen in it.

At the end of the night, they informed that an earthquake with a magnitude of 5.5 on the Richter scale had occurred in Rudbar. Mountains have collapsed, roads have been closed, gas has leaked and electricity has been cut. Yasir also called from Anzali port and said that there was an earthquake there too. An earthquake was also felt in Tehran. I talked to the interior minister and asked him to take care of it immediately.
