The approval of the Supreme National Security Council to release two Turkish soldiers as a sign of goodwill, which Hashemi explained from a position of weakness after Turkey's threat.

The approval of the Supreme National Security Council to respond to Bill Clinton through Oman despite the opposition of Ayatollah Khamenei

The opposition of the Supreme National Security Council to the President's proposal to mediate the Secretary General of the United Nations or a telephone conversation with the President of Turkey for border issues is one of the complications of the power structure in Iran.

The infrastructure [and production] committee of the expediency evaluation council had a meeting in the generalities of the transportation policy, but it was not completed.

Mr. [Gholamreza] Aghazadeh, [head of the Atomic Energy Organization] came and complained to Mr. [Mohsen] Nurbakhsh, [CEO of the Central Bank] that he did not implement the approvals regarding the provision of currency for the organization's sensitive works.

Mohsen came in the afternoon. He explained the problem that Mosla has with the passage of the subway tunnel under Mosla and the ventilation between the tunnels.

He also talked about the problems of building Mosla [Imam Khomeini] in Tehran with the program [and budget] organization. The trustees of Mosla must accept the conditions of the program and budget organization.

In the evening, the students of Tehran University of Medical Sciences came to the youth counseling center; They try to solve the problem of marriage and moral and sexual issues of young people. Dr. [Mohammadreza] Zafarkandi, the head of the school, explained.

They relied on intellectual direction and related causes. The community residents of the center came. They explained their plans and efforts and asked for help to meet their needs. They proposed to change the name of Kerman University from the name of "Shahid [Mohammed Javad] Bahnar" to the name of "Afzali" - its founder.

To participate in the meeting of the Supreme National Security Council, I went to the office of Mr. [Syed Mohammad] Khatami, [President]; Despite the request of the leadership and Mr. Khatami and Mr. [Hasan] Rouhani, I had said that I would not participate, but I accepted with great insistence.

They want me to participate when they have an important order. Today, the issue of the threat to America and the way to deal with it, and the issue of "relations with America" ​​were on the agenda; It remained unfinished. It was decided to give a firm answer to the latest threat of America.

[It was also decided] that in the next meeting, the amount of threat and how to deal with it should be discussed, and the main discussion should be assigned to a time when there is no threat.

It was agreed that two Turkish soldiers will be released as a sign of goodwill. It is from a position of weakness. Also, the answer to [Bill Clinton], the president of the United States, should be given through the government of Oman; The leadership does not agree with the answer given by Oman.

Mr. Khatami's proposal to mediate with the Secretary General of the United Nations, as well as a telephone conversation with Mr. [Süleyman] Demirel, [President of Turkey] for border issues, was rejected.
