In Iraq, conflicts and demonstrations continue. Various diseases caused by uranium that was used in the war and shortages and heat have increased. The situation of orphaned children has become a disaster and authorities have warned America that people's patience is running out....

I went to the [meeting ceremony of heads of Iranian embassies abroad] of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. I spoke about the internal and global situation in the region, threats, opportunities and foreign policy and answered the questions.  Sofra said that they were not satisfied with Mr. [Syed Mahmoud] Hashemi Shahroudi's [Head of the Judiciary]'s answers the other day.

Mr. [Mohammad Reza] Mokhbar, [Member of the Supervisory Council of the Expediency Recognition Council] came. He reported on monitoring the implementation of general policies and repeated the proposal to accept the future presidency and said that this is the opinion of university professors. He suggested that I deliver a few sermons on the achievements of the revolution on the occasion of the quarter century of the revolution; Because the majority of the society will listen to your sermons and it will have a good effect to answer the negative advertisements.

In the evening Dr. [Mehdi] Sahraiyan and Timsar [Ahmed] Dadbin [and Khosro Nasirizadeh] came from the Assembly of Experts. They brought the result of examining the opinions of different sections of the Iranian people and said that the overwhelming majority consider the way out of the current situation to be the renewal of the executive responsibility of the construction era. I gave the same answer as the previous meeting and said, think about the younger forces.  

Mr. [Kazem] Rouhaninejad, a journalist of the Far East radio station, came. He reported on the situation in the region and said that the public opinion of Malaysian Muslims is in favor of Al-Qaeda and they usually pray for [Osama] Bin Laden, [the leader of Al-Qaeda] in the mosques after prayers, and the harsh positions of [Malaysian Prime Minister] Mahathir Muhammad are also because of this public opinion, which has clashed with America. He quoted from AFP that in a recent meeting, Bush [President of the United States] told Mahathir, how come you are still at the head of the government of Malaysia, you should step down and one of the audience said that they are going to step down in October.

In Afghanistan, 200 armed people attacked government centers and many were killed and wounded. In Iraq, conflicts and demonstrations continue. Various diseases caused by uranium that was used in the war and shortages and heat have increased. The situation of orphaned children has become a disaster and authorities have warned America that people's patience is running out.  

In the crash of an American military helicopter in Tikrit, there were casualties and [Paul] Bremer, [executive head of the interim coalition government of Iraq] said, the damage to the northern oil pipeline is extensive and a month's time is needed to fix it. Basically, the pipes have a problem due to being closed for a long time. Bursting of the main water pipe in Baghdad has added to the problems.

 [Geoff Hoon], the British Defense Secretary, has taken responsibility for the [disclosure] of [weapons inspector] David Kelly to lighten [Tony] Blair's [prime minister] burden.  

In America, the electricity situation has not yet returned to normal. The storm in the south and forest fires have created new problems. In Pakistan, several Shia people have been assassinated and martyred.
