By eight in the morning, I had studied in [the history book] of World War II about the occupation of the Netherlands, Belgium, and France, and the breaking of the French and English armies by Germany in a short period, which is surprising. In the reports and news, the preparation by the United States for presence and intervention in the Persian Gulf remains at the forefront.

By eight o'clock in the morning, I read the chapter on the capture of Holland, Belgium and France and the defeat of the French and British armies by Germany in a short period of time in the [history book] of World War II, which is surprising.

In reports and news, America's introduction to presence and intervention in the Persian Gulf is still at the top of the news. Dr. Rouhani came. He said the report on the state of defense and its needs. We decided to hit the industrial centers of Basra in retaliation for yesterday's Iraqi bombings in Khuzestan. I also consulted with the Prime Minister. Although there is a possibility of the start of a war between the cities, we have no choice, because Iraq continues to attack economic and industrial centers on a large scale. I talked about the weakness of the army's ground forces and the need to pay attention to Colonel Torabi's report and proposal.

Mr. [Sidkamal] Kharazi came. He brought a cordless phone from Mr. Salari, our ambassador in Germany, to use in the yard. He complained about the prime minister's suspicion of [Islamic Republic - IRNA] news agency.

Akhavi Mohammad informed by phone that the American radio announced that Iraq gave a positive answer to the American proposal regarding not attacking Iran in the Persian Gulf and consulted about the position in the news. The Prime Minister said on the phone, the report arrived that [Charles] Glass - the kidnapped American reporter in Lebanon - has been released.

The era of doctorate came. Reported the trip to Oman. Oman was seen as a good means of maintaining a channel to the West and eager to play this role. They have said that America has said that they do not want to get involved with Iran, and England wants to restore relations to the past, and Egypt does not want to escalate tensions. The wife and child of [Jean-Paul] Toury, the accused French diplomat, were to be allowed to return to France.

I worked in my office in the evening and at night and stayed in the parliament at night. Before noon and evening, Iraq has attacked oil and industrial centers. I told the War Propaganda Headquarters to announce that the Iraqi people should move out of the industrial centers of Iraq so that retaliatory measures will be taken.

At half past one, Mr. Kharazi woke me up on the phone and consulted about the published news of a boat attack on a Liberian ship. The army and the navy say they did not. It is possible that the staging is to make excuses against us. I considered this possibility unlikely and said that this possibility should be vaguely mentioned in the notification.
