Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani's Diary - May 5, 1999 - The Aftermath of the Trial of Jews Accused of Espionage and its International Repercussions

The Aftermath of the Trial of Jews Accused of Espionage and its International Repercussions.

Hashemi's focus on the effects of planets in the solar system and the Earth.

From 11 am to 5 pm, I was at the Kushk. My time was spent reading reports, using the pool and sauna.  Efat and Mary [Salari, Yaser's wife] were also there. The rest of the time was spent revising the index of the "Guide Commentary" for future printings, making final edits to the [book "Karnameh" and] 1982 [post-crisis] diary, and reading news from the home computer.

Despite the Jews' confession to espionage, America and Israel have become even more aggressive. The trial of [Abdul Basit Ali Muhammad al-Megrahi and Amin Khalifa Fhima], two Libyans in the Netherlands, on charges of shooting down a plane and the Lockerbie incident, began today, and in Western media, they are somehow pointing a finger at Iran as well; it's probably not unrelated to recent domestic issues, the trial of the Jews, and pressure on the anti-revolutionaries.

Today and tomorrow, a unique alignment of planets in the solar system is occurring, which happens every 50 to 100 years and has effects on the Earth, either positive or negative.

Under pressure from America, the head of the Baltic University in Russia was dismissed because several Iranian students had studied there for years and, according to America, had gained expertise in missile technology. Mr. Saliof courageously defends the university's actions.
