Constitutional amendments put to referendum

Iran’s Assembly of Experts selected Ali Khamenei to succeed Khomeini. The change placed reconstruction under a new supreme leader.

An agreement was announced for Bulgaria to import Iranian gas through the Soviet Union. The arrangement concerned planned supply, not proof of completed annual deliveries.

Iran and the Soviet Union signed a long-term trade, economic and technical cooperation agreement in Moscow, providing a framework for the postwar development relationship.

MEES reported Iranian crude production above 2.9 million barrels daily in June. The entry dates the report, rather than inventing a day on which recovery first occurred.

Iranians voted in the presidential election in which Ali Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani was the leading candidate. This entry records polling, not a same-day final results announcement.

MEES reported a forecast allocating $4.8 billion to food and consumer-goods imports. This was a planned use of foreign exchange, not an audited spending total.

MEES reported a preliminary agreement for a joint gas-fired power station in northwestern Iran. Agreement on a proposed project did not mean the station had been built.

MEES reported Iran allocating funds for oil, gas and petrochemical projects. The planned investment shows the scale of energy-sector ambitions after widespread wartime destruction.

MEES reported renewed talks on outstanding Franco-Iranian financial disputes. Negotiations offered a path toward settlement but were not themselves a final resolution.

Resolution 642 continued UNIIMOG’s mandate to monitor the ceasefire and withdrawal. Iran’s border security remained subject to international observation.
