I was working at home and in the office. I went to the building of the companions in Saadabad to meet Mr. Khatami.  Works here for two or three days a week;  Due to the discomfort of the asthma history, it is in the middle of the city.  We were negotiating about the possibility of an American invasion of Iraq or Iran.  There was no remarkable story.  According to the US and the messengers of neighboring countries, it is obtained that the decision to attack Iraq is explicit, but its quality and time are unclear.

Mr Khatami's resignation and rumors of the possibility of resignation and rumors of the rumors and rumors of the possibility of resignation were discussed.  He has a lot of complaints of the leadership and head of the judiciary and people like Mr. Mesbah [Yazdi]. He said he is not resigning and is under pressure.  One of the people of Khordadi's second -placement is angry that they have done with Tundero. He said that his brother and others wrote a letter and asked to hold a ceremony for June 2rs this year.  They have responded in writing that if there is a ceremony, he will give a lecture against the second deeds.  He wrote examples of their work, one of which was their inappropriate encounters about me.  We have also negotiated about the revelations of the Mojahedin [= the Mojahedin Khalq Organization] about the industrial designs of the nuclear sciences and the possible solutions to prevent danger.
