In the Name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful
Faith in God, the cause of victory
Greetings to the heroic nation of Iran! Salutations to the nation, which rooted out all the bases of oppression, tyranny and discord with its bare hands through its reliance upon the Exalted and Blessed God, and with the unity of expression and unity of purpose. Greetings to you, the youth! Greetings to you, who have come from far away to commiserate with the local residents and me. You know that we have suffered. Our nation offered sacrifices and suffered afflictions. For fifty odd years, it endured so much suffering that it finally could bear it no longer. Oh, great nation, you, too, know that the key to your victory was the unity of expression and reliance on faith. It was your faith in God, which made you triumph. It was this faith in God which emboldened our youth into facing martyrdom. It was faith in God that shoved you forward in this struggle. We must safeguard this key.
We have now reached the halfway stage; our task is not yet fulfilled. The vestiges of those who committed treason and crimes remain. Foreign criminals and oil spongers have not given up. You should be vigilant and aware. You should thwart their conspiracies. Their lackeys now want to cause discord among the people. They want to stage anti-religious demonstrations. «2» They want to indulge in activities to separate you, the esteemed strata of the people and respectable brothers from each other, employing the same stratagems used by foreigners a few hundred years ago to separate Islamic countries and cause differences among individuals and groups in each nation. However, the unity of expression, which prevailed throughout Iran and the unity of purpose that arose all over the country showed that everyone wanted the same thing and that was an Islamic rule; the establishment of an Islamic republic in Iran was everyone's goal. Reliance on God and the goal to establish a divine rule, that is, an Islamic republic made you triumph. So far, you have been victorious. Now, when the time comes to hold a referendum, that is, in a few days, you should be vigilant. Guard yourselves against the ruses of the enemies. They are intending to install either a republic without Islam, or a democratic republic, which is also without Islam, or an Islamic democratic republic to give it a western tint by using the term" democratic." You should be on the alert and vote for nothing else but an Islamic republic.
You, who are responsible for telecommunications, must make this matter known, by communicating it, as much as you can and wherever possible, because if any instability sets into this state of affairs, or, God forbid, you show any weakness in this regard, the foreign agents might succeed (in the referendum). If, God forbid, foreign elements prevail over us in this affair, everything will revert to the way it was and even worse. Now, they (foreigners) have understood that the nation defeated them though Islam and its unity of expression. They have sensed this defeat. Now, if, God forbid, lassitude creeps in, the minions of the foreign powers will cut off our roots and those of Islam. Be alert, my brethren! Be united and of one voice. Vote for an Islamic republic, all of you together.
May God support you all. May God grant you success. May you all be healthy and sound. May God save our nation and country from the iniquity of foreign powers and make you all prosperous.
