Consultation with Sheikh Mohammad Emami Kashani on the content of the upcoming Friday sermons (two days later; because it was Thursday on this day, and tomorrow, Friday, Ayatollah Khamenei, in accordance with a prior agreement with Hashemi mentioned in the diaries, will put an end to many publications in his speech at the Musalla, and the subsequent policy of the judiciary will also become clear; on Friday, Emami Kashani is scheduled to speak in confirmation).

Repetition of the broadcast of the so-called Berlin conference film on television and its related events as narrated by Hashemi, whose writing style indicates his satisfaction.

Mr. [Sadr-al-Din] Shariati, the head of the Guardian Council's inspection in the elections, came and gave a report on the problems with the elections, saying that the manager of this election has been around since after the revolution, and he described his grievances and expressed regret. Mr. Mohsen Rezai, [Secretary of the Expediency Discernment Council] came and said that the IRGC's statement was issued after the Leader told them why they weren't defending themselves.

My brother, Mohammad, [Deputy Executive Head of the President's Office] came and said that the plan to merge some ministries in the government has been rejected because it had many ambiguities and caused problems for most ministers.

In the afternoon, Mr. [Mehdi] Saffari, our ambassador in Moscow, came and said that after Mr. [Vladimir] Putin's election, Russia's situation has improved and they have gained stability. He said he came for the Caucasus Security Conference and that America, Turkey, and others are preventing Iran from having a role there, and the Russians' policy is to not allow others to enter this region, neither Turkey nor Iran.

Mr. [Mohammad] Emami Kashani, [member of the Assembly of Experts and temporary Friday prayer leader of Tehran], came and consulted on the upcoming Friday sermons. They want to talk about the [Berlin] conference and the Leader's speech tomorrow [at Tehran's Imam Khomeini Musalla regarding the Second of Khordad press], reforms, and the violence that the Leader has raised.

I came home at night. I watched the Berlin conference film that was broadcast for the second time [on television]; it was humiliating and revealing. Since it was broadcast last night, it has upset people about liberals and Second of Khordad supporters and made them very angry. Today, the leftist newspapers have protested, and the right-wing newspapers have encouraged it; the Hezbollah of the parliament and the Hezbollah Assembly and some leftist figures have also condemned the Berlin conference, and the Islamic Republic News Agency [IRNA] is trying to condemn the Islamic Republic of Iran Broadcasting [IRIB], but it's not successful.
