In the Name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful
Brave nation of Iran! Vigilant brothers and sisters of Tehran!
Now that victory is nigh, as God has willed so, and the army has withdrawn, declaring its non-intervention in political affairs, and has expressed its support for the nation, the brave and beloved nation should maintain its readiness for any possible defense while keeping very alert in this situation. In cases when the military forces are retreating to their bases, it should maintain peace and order.
If seditious elements do not desist from arson and sabotage, make them aware of their religious and human duties and do not allow any such people to attack embassies and cause the nation any ill repute. And if, God forbid, the army returns, you are duty-bound to resist using your fiercest means of defense and to defend yourselves with all your power and might.
I hereby announce to the military commanders that if the military refrains from further incursions and joins the nation and the Islamic legal and national government, we will recognize them as being one with the nation and the nation as one with them, and will treat them like brothers. I ask the Exalted God for the victory of the brave nation of Iran. May God's peace, mercy and blessings be upon you.
Rouhullah al-Mousawi al-Khomeini
