Message [Reply to a message of condolence on the martyrdom of Messrs: Raja'i and Bahonar]

In the Name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful

Mr. Yeah Chin Aryang (?), President of the National Committee of China,

I received your message of condolence on the sad incident which led to the martyrdom of two of our committed and beloved officials. I appreciate your sympathy and kindness. It is hoped that these shameful plots and acts will expose to the world the real nature of the enemies of humanity headed by America. It is hoped that our cry of innocence will get through to others and serve as a response to the unfair accusations which have been leveled against us and have gone as far as accusing us of buying weapons from the occupying Israel.
