I woke up at 3:30 a.m. to have the pre-dawn meal (Sahur).

I woke up at half past three in the morning to eat suhoor. From four o'clock in the morning, I saw the special TV program for the New Year delivery ceremony and I was awake until half past seven when the Nowruz messages were broadcast.
Before handing over the New Year, Ayatollah Khamenei called and while congratulating him on the New Year, he informed that [Ayatollah Seyda Bolqasem] Khoei had been arrested in Iraq and asked the government and the Security Council to consider the appropriate response.
I told [Mr. Ali Akbar Velayati], Minister of Foreign [Affairs] and Dr. [Hasan] Rohani, [Secretary of the National Security Council], to follow up and examine the news and give their opinion. It turned out that last night, Baghdad TV broadcasted the meeting between Saddam Hussein and Ayatollah Khoei and part of the negotiations. In this meeting, Mr. Khoei somehow condemned the actions of the people [Shiites in southern Iraq] and confirmed the actions of the Baghdad government in suppressing the people's uprising.
I shared this with the leadership in the afternoon. Considering that this meeting and interview was under pressure and intimidation, it was decided to protest. I ordered the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to summon the Iraqi Chargé d'Affaires and formally protest, and a statement should be issued by the leadership office.
I went to visit [Lady Khadija Thaghafi], wife of Imam. There was also modesty. We greeted; have weakness Children and relatives came to break the fast.
