I reached my office at eight in the morning. I did the work until ten o'clock. Mr. Aghazadeh [Oil Minister] came. In order to deliver my message to some leaders about Palestine and oil and their participation in the reconstruction of Iran, he is going to the southern countries of the Persian Gulf. I explained to him about the quality of the negotiations and agreed that Mohsen should go with him.

I went to the leader's office. We went to Hosseinieh together. The guests were the personalities and managers of the three powers. First I and then the leader spoke. Zuhr and Asr prayers in congregation

we read I did not stay for lunch and went to my office. Ayatollah Khamenei's speech was about unity and avoiding quarrels and luxury and trying to win people's trust.

In the evening, the government had a meeting. Near the evening, Mr. Kamal Kharazi, [Permanent Representative of Iran to the United Nations] came. He said the report of negotiations and understanding with the Secretary General about helping to release the hostages. [Mr. Xavier Perez Dekoyar, Secretary General of the United Nations], has accepted that in return for Iran's help in releasing the hostages, they will fulfill our right to implement paragraph 6 of Resolution 598, which is related to identifying the aggressor, and identify Iraq as an aggressor; I encouraged him. So far things have gone well. He asked for permission to create a lobby in America in order to accommodate our opinions.
