Late last night, Mr. [Mohammed] Yazdi, [head of the Judiciary], suggested over the phone that I should lead the Friday prayer tomorrow in his stead, to provide an acceptable analysis regarding the Imam's letter [about Ayatollah Montazeri] and the issues of the day.

Late last night, Mr. [Mohammed] Yazdi, [head of the Judiciary], suggested over the phone that I should lead the Friday prayer tomorrow in his stead, to provide an acceptable analysis regarding the Imam's letter [about Ayatollah Montazeri] and the issues of the day. I said, regarding the text of the letter and the Imam's statements in that meeting where I, Rahbari, and Mr. [Ibrahim] Amini, [Ali] Meshkini, and Ahmad Agha were present, we should have a new conversation with Rahbari and the effect of the letter should be clarified in the next few days so that no contradictory statements are made by me during Friday prayers.

This morning, Mr. [Ahmed] Janati asked for the same on the phone, and I gave the same answer and said that the Imam's letter had two copies, one remained with Mr. Ahmad and the other is in the hands of Ayatollah Montazeri. I don't know where this text that was read came from and whether the text is complete or incomplete; We must understand this.

Ayatollah Khamenei, their opinion is that the text of the Imam's sharp statements against Ayatollah Montazeri in that meeting should be said. I have not written these statements in my memories, but they remember the same part of Imam's words.

In the evening, Mr. Taha Hashemi, representative of Qom, gave a telephone report on the situation in Qom and asked me to lead the Friday prayer tomorrow. At night, Mr. Fallah from the Ministry of Information came and told about the situation in Qom, scholars and Ayatollah Montazeri. At the end of the night, Mohsen [Hashmi, the CEO of the Metro Company] came and told the results of his investigations and his visit to the status of the Tehran Metro plan and the completion plan [of lines five, one and two].

In the news, the issues of Pakistan and the possibility of the fall of Nawaz Sharif's government by the judicial system, which the president is probably in agreement with, as well as the calming of the Iraqi crisis, with the withdrawal of Saddam with the mediation of Russia and the acceptance of American inspectors, are of interest. It was not far from the expectation.
