At nine o'clock in the morning, [Mr. Gholamreza Aghazadeh], the oil minister, came. He reported on the progress of South Pars gas drilling in the Persian Gulf and pre-sale of oil. I said that during the war, we could not do anything in that huge common gas tank and Qatar is ahead of us. The task of using the reservoir should be followed with priority. Mr. Zanjani, [Head of the Program and Budget Organization] also arrived and discussed the credit needs of the Ministry in 2011; They suggested to increase the price of the products. I advised Mr. Zanjani to increase the funds for the construction of dams and water control in South Pars.

Dr. Hashemi Golpaygani came for the order of the Supreme Council of Cultural Revolution. They came from the Lebanese authorities. I explained the policy of helping to solve the hostage problem in Lebanon. Mr. [Sidkamal] Kharazi, [Permanent Representative of Iran to the United Nations] called from New York and insisted that we accept the presence of the Red Cross so that a resolution is not passed in the United Nations against us.

We decided to accept the [representative] of the Red Cross and accept the arrival of Afghan planes for refugees. We were supposed to criticize the American coercion on Libya. Mr. [Abdullah] Nouri, [Minister of the Interior], announced a heavy blow to the evildoers in the east of the country.

We had dinner with Ahmad Agha, the guest of Ayatollah Khamenei. The same discussions of the Supreme National Security Council were discussed. On the way home, Ahmad Agha expressed his concern about the possibility of problems regarding the principle of the province; I said that if [Majlis representatives] Khobargan fulfill their duties, this will not happen.
