Following the meetings of officials and political figures with Hashemi to encourage him to participate in the 6th parliament elections today, Alireza Mahjoub and... {it seems that according to Mohsen Hashemi's announcement for government censorship (and...) this part has also been censored}

Strong differences between the members of the Khat Imam coalition

Tehrani's meeting with Akbar Hashemi, the Deputy Minister of Information at the time, along with an expert on Jews and Freemasons, and his explanations about Jews who convert to Islam, this security view is very interesting in that year.

On this day, Hashemi was reluctant to participate in the meetings of the Supreme National Security Council, but at the insistence of President Mohammad Khatami, he participated in this meeting.

In this meeting, the reports of the president and the executive officer at the time of the secretary of the Shaam House spent a lot of time explaining the Jews accused of espionage in Shiraz and the issues of the university and the research committee of the Supreme National Security Council for these incidents. The concern and the political conditions at that time are interesting and should be considered in the agenda of the Supreme National Security Council meetings on this day.

The disclosure of the exchange of messages between the presidents of the United States and Iran by Abbas Salimi Nemin in the Tehran Times newspaper and the announcement by the foreign minister to sue him to the judiciary, as well as the decision to deny the claims of Israeli newspapers regarding the contact with the office of Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani for The fate of 13 Jews accused of espionage in Shiraz, is an important historical point.

After breakfast some exercise and walking on the dam beach, I went to my office. At eleven o'clock, Mr. [Alireza] Mahjoub and... came from Kargar's house. They insisted on participating in the elections of the [sixth] parliament and claimed that there was no one other than me who could maintain the unity of the parliament and as a result the peace of the country.

I did not accept this claim and promised to investigate. They consulted about the position of the Worker's House and the new spectrum of the establishment of work in the parliament elections and reported on the wide and intense differences between the members of the so-called Khat Imam coalition, which has become complicated.

Mr. [Mehdi] Karroubi manages their meetings for the coalition in the elections. They said, in the past, they had a lot of pressure on Mr. [Gholamhossein] Karbaschi, and today they have the same pressure on Mr. [Hossein] Marashi, who is the representative of [Spectrum] agents in this complex.

Mr. Dr. [Mohammed Ali] Najafi and Dr. [Masoud] Nili from the Program and Budget Organization came. They gave explanations about the important issues of the third plan, which is organized with the aim of proper growth in investment and production, creating employment and reducing inflation, etc.; With the current situation of political tension and lack of investment trust, it is not realistic.

The proposal to increase the price of energy is unlikely to be accepted.

In the evening, Mr. [Amir] Tehrani, from the Ministry of Information, came with Mr. Hidayat (pseudonym), who is in charge of the Jewish minority and Freemasons. He gave explanations about the Jews who accept Islam - Jadid al-Islam; He believes that the overwhelming majority of them are lying and pretending to be Islam is for material or political interests, etc.

He mentioned the names of several wealthy and famous families and gave a reason and also said something about 13 Jews accused of espionage.

At the insistence of Mr. Khatami, [President], I participated in the meeting of the Supreme National Security Council to examine the threats of the United States; But the talk of 13 Jews accused of espionage, university matters, and the report of the investigation committee took all the time.

Mr. Khatami and Mr. Ebad [Ali Rabiei] are upset about the negative attitude of the right spectrum, especially Imam Juma'ah and Mr. [Ahmed] Jannati, with the report.

Some people expressed their concern about the lack of repair of the damages to the university and introduced it as a conspiracy by the Ministry of Science... to set the stage for other student movements in the month of Mehr. He is conspiring to bring the same fate as the Ministry of Intelligence and Security to the IRGC, and he specifically mentioned people like [Saeed] Hajjarian and [Gholamreza] Zarifian, advisor to the president and deputy minister of science.

Mr. Khatami, on the other hand, said that he received information that Right Spectrum has plans to reverse it. It was decided that the Secretariat of the [Supreme National Security Council] will follow up to prevent chaos at the beginning of the new academic year.

Mr. [Kamal] Kharazi complained to Mr. [Abbas] Suleimanin, the official of the Tehran Times newspaper, that he spread the news of America's message through Oman. It is supposed to be prosecuted.

I spoke with Mohsen, [Head of the Office of the Expediency Evaluation Council], about denying the false claim of the Israeli newspapers, regarding the contact with my office, about the fate of 13 Jewish spies.
