 رُشَنا:
Simultaneously with Abdullah Nouri's statements during his trial in the Special Clerical Court regarding Sheikh Ali Tehrani and his criticism of the dual behavior towards him, which led to his imprisonment in Evin Prison and the differing interpretations of these statements by Abdullah Nouri.

Dreaming about Akbar Hashemi is interesting and somewhat thought-provoking.

The issuance of a statement by the Office of Strengthening Unity supporting Sheikh Abdullah Nouri's statements in court, particularly that part regarding Sheikh Ali Tehrani.

Following up on the treatment of Fatemeh Hashemi, who was hospitalized after an accident on a northern road.

Complete criticism and complaint from Kheirkhah, the then representative of Lahijan, against Sheikh Zain al-Abidin Ghorbani, the Friday prayer leader of Lahijan at the time, who later became the representative of Ayatollah Khamenei in Gilan Province.

The meeting with Fard Hosseini, the then Iranian ambassador to Romania, has interesting information.

The meeting of the children and sons-in-law of Mohammad Mofatteh with an emphasis on all of them working in broadcasting; some of them later reached political and parliamentary positions.

Finding an intermediary by Gholamreza Forouzh for collecting Iran's debts from Israel, which Hashemi mentioned in general terms, indicating that he had previously referred it to Dr. Ghodarz Eftekhari Jahromi, though no record of the outcome was published.

Meeting with Mr. Vakili, who was collaborating with Mohammad Hossein Moghimy to establish the petrochemical company in Kermanshah.

Continued sharp statements from Hashemi regarding leftist groups condemning Sheikh Abdullah Nouri in the Special Clerical Court.

Last night I dreamt that at a party, Mr. Sheikh Ali Tehrani was also present and wanted to approach me, but I hesitated, and eventually, we exchanged a few sentences.

In a statement, the Office of Strengthening Unity condemned the conviction of Mr. [Abdullah] Nouri, [the director of the newspaper Khordad], criticizing the lack of action against Mr. Ali Tehrani commensurate with his worth, which is seen as an affront to leadership and perhaps revenge against leadership due to their repeated criticisms of the position of Strengthening Unity regarding America on November 4 this year.

I inquired about Fatemeh's condition over the phone. They said she slept better last night but was going to Hospital 17th of Dey for examination due to the possibility of a pulmonary embolism, and Iffat expressed concern about this. After the examination, they were reassured on this front.

Mr. Kamel Kheirkhah, the representative from Lahijan, came. He complained about Mr. [Zain al-Abidin] Ghorbani's behavior as Friday prayer leader and expressed concern about the Ministry of Interior's interference in favor of leftist candidates in elections, insisting strongly on my participation in the elections.

Our new ambassador in Romania, Mr. [Ahmad] Fard Hosseini, came. He provided comprehensive information about Eastern Europe and the Balkans and sought opinions on policies. The new consul in Peshawar, Pakistan, came. Considering the presence of Afghans in Peshawar and issues related to Afghanistan as well as Shia and Sunni matters, he had questions.

The children and sons-in-law of martyr Mofatteh came to invite me to participate in the 20th anniversary ceremony of their father and requested an interview. Most of them work in broadcasting. In the afternoon, Mr. [Gholamreza] Forouzh came for matters related to the Research Center [Strategic Research Center of the Expediency Discernment Council] and mentioned that an intermediary had been found for collecting our debts from Israel that had been pending since the previous regime. I said I had previously referred the matter to Mr. [Ghodarz] Eftekhari Jahromi, [head of the International Legal Office of the Presidency], and they should consult with him.

Mr. [Ali] Vakili, CEO of the Research Center of the Ministry of Oil, came and said they are responsible for establishing petrochemicals there with Mr. [Mohammad Hossein] Moghimy, the governor of Kermanshah, and implementing research from the center there could be feasible. He explained preliminary actions for acquiring catalyst production technology and genetic modifications.

Numerous sharp statements were issued by leftist groups and Islamic associations affiliated with Strengthening Unity condemning the Special Clerical Court.
