Mr. Khamenei considers the only way to be my candidate. It was decided to talk to the imam beforehand. In the Reconstruction Council, by noon, the titles of the desired policies were completed and it was decided to give them to the consultants for their comments, and the plans for the reconstruction of the damaged areas were approved for this year's sequel. After lunch and prayer, we discussed about the government. I came to my office.

After the break, Mr. Emadi Imam Juma Gonbadkavus came. He complained about the lack of support for the agricultural sector.

The National Security Council meeting was held with the presence of the governors of Kerman, Sistan and Baluchistan, Khorasan and Hormozgan provinces, as well as the IRGC commanders and representatives of Kerman province. In this meeting, the security situation in the eastern part of the country was examined, considering the danger of smugglers and counter-revolution, and it lasted from four in the afternoon to nine in the evening. After a thorough investigation, it was decided that the responsibility of establishing security rests with the police forces; By giving the facilities and adding the IRGC strike force as a precaution. The General Staff had suggested that we leave the work to the Corps. They also had dinner in the assembly. Mr. Varzdar, one of my bodyguards, came from Khuzestan and brought the work plan of my trip.
