After the morning prayer, Mr. Basharti, the Minister of Interior, called and said that Ayatollah Araki had passed away. He suggested that I declare today a holiday. I told him to wait until we check. I immediately called Ayatollah Khamenei and told him the news. I consulted about public mourning and closure. On the way to the office, I went to the heart hospital to check the program of the ceremony.

I did not see any sign of mourning or death in the hospital, I entered. Araki's son was welcomed. I wanted to offer my condolences, but I saw that he was smiling. I started the sentence with the phrase: God bless you..., seeing his smile, I hesitated and instead of giving him patience, I said, "He has made trouble!" We went to Mr. Araki's bed together. I saw that they are alive; I was happy and surprised by Mr. Basharti's false news. I greeted It turned out that they are not well.

I went to my office. I told the situation to Ayatollah Khamenei over the phone. Like me, they were saddened by Mr. Basharti's news and said that they sent Mr. Mohammadi Golpaygani to the hospital and informed the people around him about his death and wrote half of their notice. I also wrote a condolence address to the leadership!

I scolded Mr. Basharti on the phone. He said that the news of death came in the middle of the night. Mr. [Mohammedreza] Naqdi and [Yosefarza] Abul-Fathi went to the hospital and confirmed the news, and I also informed you first and did not say anything else. We decided to follow. The news has been spread among high-level officials, so the radio broadcasts the news of the deterioration of the situation and the improvement process.

[Mr. John Samuel Salsela], Prime Minister of Tanzania came. The negotiations were normal and ceremonial. [Mr. Ali Hassan Movini], the President, requested that we travel to Tanzania. Mr. [Mohammed] Waezzadeh, [Secretary General of the World Association of Islamic Religions] came and asked for the location of Ahl al-Sunnah University.

The anti-narcotics headquarters had a meeting. We made a decision about the related expenses and appointed two groups to deal with the past incomes and expenses and make suggestions to improve the work of the headquarters. It was decided to investigate whether poppy farmers in Pakistan and Afghanistan should be given international aid to transform agriculture.

In the evening Mr. [Mohsen] Rafiq Dost came. He expressed his displeasure that the leadership did not renew the management order of the foundation [for the oppressed and veterans] and asked me to help in determining the assignment and defended the manager of the Quds store who was recently fined by the government. It rained a lot last night and today, and floods have occurred in many parts of Iran and abroad.
