Iran has been officially silent about the US decision, but a day before the decision was announced, foreign ministry spokesman Hamid-Reza Asefi said Iran would treat US wrestlers during the September 4-7 event just as US treated Iranian wrestlers in similar events. (Alireza Taheri) Intelligence Minister Calls Judiciary's Intelligence Unit Illegal * Intelligence minister Ali Yunesi said yesterday that only his ministry and the armed forces can legally maintain intelligence units. He also said the nationalist party Freedom Movement of Iran, ordered to dissolve by the judiciary on subversion charges, was no threat to the regime. In trials of dissidents and journalists, the judiciary has often cited secret evidence gathered by its own intelligence unit. In spite of a recent law that banned secret intelligence gathering by any organ other than the intelligence ministry and the armed forces, many organs, including the office of the president and the Guardians Council, continue to rely on their own intelligence gathering units.

(Mahmonir Rahimi) Gozaresh-e Ruz Publisher Gets Jail, Loses License * The press court jury found Mohammd Mahdavi-Khorrami, publisher of the banned newspaper Gozaresh-e Ruz, guilty of spreading lies and anti-regime propaganda.

He says he would appeal the verdict. (Fereydoun Zarnegar) Interior Minister Confirms Arrests of Dissident Clerics in Qom Interior minister Abdolvahab Mussavi Lari confirmed the arrest of several dissident clerics in Qom. * In an interview with RFE/RL, Qom-based political activist Akbar Karami identifies one of the arrested clerics as Hasan Idrom, a writer for the reformist newspaper Aftab-e Yazd, who says he was beaten before being taken away from his home. Another arrested cleric is Valiollah Ahrari, a supporter of Ayatollah Hossein-Ali Montazeri. Karami says these arrests and other actions by the judiciary have created an atmosphere of fear in the city in which rogue gangs thrive. (Mehdi Khalaji) Barq-e Lameh Towel Weaving Workers Go on Strike * Workers of the Barq-e Lame towel factory in Tabriz went on strike yesterday. They had previously shut down the factory protesting non-payment of their wages. Tabriz-based Ensaf-Ali Hedayat tells RFE/RL that this time the workers demand the return of the factory to the Mostazefan foundation. Three years ago, the factory was partially turned over to the Barq-e Lame family from whom it had been confiscated after the revolution. Workers resist the new management's plan to cut 150 out of 260 jobs.

He says instead of building expensive dams and planning to transport water though canals over long distances, the government should develop plans that would increase subterranean supplies.

فدراسيون كشتي آمريكا يكشنبه شب اعلام كرد كه به دلايل امنيتي، كشتي گيران آمريكائي در سي و ششمين دوره مسابقات كشتي آزاد كه هشت روز ديگر در تهران آغاز مي شود، شركت نخواهند كرد. به گفته اين فدراسيون، حكومت ايران حاضر به تضمين امنيت كشتي گيران آمريكائي در تهران نشده بود. با كناره گيري تيم آمريكا، 43 تيم از گوشه وكنار جهان در مسابقات تهران شركت خواهند كرد. جمهوري اسلامي تاكنون در اين باره اظهارنظري نكرده است. حميدرضا آصفي دو روز پيش گفته بود تهران همانطوركه واشنگتن با كشتي گيران ايراني در آمريكا برخورد مي كند، با كشتي گيران آمريكائي در ايران برخورد خواهد كرد. آمريكا اميدوار بود كه با تحريم مسابقات تهران، فدراسيون كشتي را به تغيير محل اين مسابقات به جائي غير از ايران منتقل كند. يك سخنگوي فدراسيبون كشتي ديروز به راديوآزادي گفت خطري كشتي گيران آمريكائي را تهديد نمي كند. كشتي گيران آمريكائي كه در اردو مشغول تمرين بودند، ديروز مرخص شدند.
