In the Name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful
Once again, they (Bakhtiyar's government agents) have started mass murders and slaughters in Tehran and provincial towns. Once again, the henchmen of Muhammad Rida have brutally assaulted the defenseless people by arming themselves with legal pretensions and the claims of protecting the country's independence under the cover of nationalism. Once again, the unclean hands of the treacherous foreign agents are protruding out of the sleeves of Muhammad Rida Pahlavi's lackeys and have made the nation mourn for their" crime" of fighting for freedom and independence.
Until recently, the treacherous Muhammad Rida had disgraced the army by ordering them to open fire on the nation and killing their own brothers and sisters. Now, his minions have taken the responsibility of rendering this service to the colonial masters. Every day we are faced with a clique of connivers who want to serve the interests of the foreigners even though this will lead to the killings of thousands of the brave people of the suffering nation of Iran. The fearless nation has pushed Muhammad Rida out of the scene but the foreign powers have brought another pawn «1» into the scene under the guise of nationalism. They (foreign powers) have so many of these lackeys wearing the masks of deception at their service, and whenever one puppet (regime) is overthrown, they appoint another pawn and I do not know what else they will do after this. Nevertheless, they should realize that the vigilant nation is not ignorant of these nefarious stratagems, and the nation will thwart them one after another.
My beloved nation (of Iran)! My friends! Do not listen to the hollow promises of this illegal government, nor be afraid of the hubbub created by the (government) executioners. Take the sacred movement forward and bring it to fruition. Sever the hands (influence) of these foreigners and their Godless servants from our beloved country. You have flung the master traitor out in ignominy. Make an effort and remove this remnant, which is no more than a mere blade of hay, from the scene. God is with you.
It is now incumbent upon all the national and governmental organs to condemn this illegal government as they had done in the past, and to turn away from them because obeisance to satanic rule is unlawful and against God's pleasure. I want that stratum of the army whose hands have not yet been tainted with the blood of our youth not to give in to the indignity of obeying these criminals, and to stop them from opposing the nation with decisiveness. The nation is on your side. Do not commit fratricide for the interests of the foreigners. By supporting Islam and the nation, immortalize your name in history.
I want the employees of the ministries not to submit to the ignominy of obeying those who trample upon the rights of the nation; aiding these tyrants and obeisance to them is unlawful and discordant with reason and religious law.
I sincerely thank the Iranian nation that has endured, and is enduring, all these privations and hardships, and I ask God the Almighty to grant the people health. I will be by your side at the first opportunity that comes my way so that I can share your joys and sorrow, and together, in one united stand, we will put an end to all the activities of these foreigner's agents. I hope that I will be able to achieve" one of the two glorious things"(victory or martyrdom): «2» either advancing the goal (to victory) and upholding justice and truth, or achieving martyrdom in the path of that which is the truth. I implore God the Almighty to grant the truth's victory over the falsehood, and bestow victory upon the honorable nation of Iran. May God's peace be upon those who follow the guidance.
