Dr. Rouhani said that we have answered most of the 24 questions from the nuclear agency, but they are not convinced. They have also presented other demands. ElBaradei, the head of the International Atomic Energy Agency, has also recently made an implicit threat. The Europeans still have not agreed to send anyone for negotiations. China and Russia are also saying to fully implement the resolution, otherwise there is the risk of going to the UN Security Council, which is not advisable. The government delegation is also concerned. They have increased the pressure on Mr. Khatami, the President, to accept.
I studied at home until the evening. In the evening, I went to the meeting place for the closing ceremony of the Ahl al-Bayt World Assembly. Ayatollah [Mohammed Mahdi] Asefi, [Secretary General of the World Assembly of Ahl al-Bayt (AS)] welcomed and presented the work report of the meeting in the presence of about 300 guests of Shia leaders and figures and domestic figures. He also brought up the reports of commissions, round tables and discussions.
I also talked about Imam Zaman, Ahl al-Bayt, the Islamic world and the current conditions of the time. I said, where radical Christians and Zionists, who have been fighting for two thousand years, have united to fight against Islam, why don't Muslims unite against powerful enemies?
At night Mr. Dr. [Hasan] Rouhani, [Secretary of the Supreme National Security Council] came. He said, we have answered most of the 24 questions of the nuclear agency, but they are not satisfied. They have also raised other demands. [Mohammed] ElBaradei, [the head of the International Atomic Energy Agency] has also recently made an implied threat. The Europeans are not yet ready to send someone to negotiate.
China and Russia also say to fully implement the resolution, otherwise there is a risk of going to the [UN] Security Council, which is not advisable. The government is also worried. They have increased the pressure on Mr. Khatami, [President] to accept. Majlesian also prepared a letter with more than several signatures, which they asked Mr. Khatami to accept. The leadership has also agreed to temporarily stop enrichment.
I said, there is a possibility that even after accepting, America will say that it does not trust Iran and it will remain without results. They are supposed to meet with the leadership and put forward different assumptions so that we can consult later.
In front of Al-Rashid Hotel, the residence of American security agents in Baghdad, a car bomb exploded and many people were killed and wounded. A member of the governing council was also injured.
Three explosions occurred in oil pipelines in northern Iraq. The dispute over Turkish soldiers continues. [National Security Advisor] [Condolissa] Rice and [Donald] Rumsfeld, [Secretary of Defense] are at loggerheads over Iraq. There have been several attacks against Americans in Afghanistan.
Anti-revolutionary radios magnify the [Nobel Peace] prize of Mrs. Shirin Ebadi. [George] Bush, [President of the United States], [Jacques] Chirc, [President of France] and [Gerhard] Schröder, [Prime Minister of Germany] have also congratulated him.
