Order [Appointment of the head of the Islamic Republic Broadcasting; rejection of the rumor of interference of the members of the family and office of the Imam Khomeini without his opinion]

In the Name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful

Contrary to expectations, there have arisen certain differences in the Islamic Republic of Iran Broadcasting that has caused worry. As a result, I appoint Mr. Muhammad Hashemi as my representative for taking over all the duties of the Managing Director of the Islamic Republic Broadcasting so that this huge organization is not left without responsibility. Because the respected Supervisory Council have certain things to say and they have written some of them to me; and Mr. Hashemi also has certain things to say, it is necessary that the respected President, the respected Prime Minister- may God assist them- investigate the statements of the parties without the least bias and take the final decision.

It is necessary to remind that I have heard that some of my family members are doing certain things that are against my liking and without informing me. Because this matter is contrary to the truth, the one who has said this should seek forgiveness at the Court of the Almighty God. «1»
