The Revolution and reforms
Of course you are aware that after every revolution, there are a number of problems created for the country and for the government- this is unavoidable. One cannot imagine that a revolution would occur and a 2,500- year-old regime with all the power it possessed would be defeated and be destroyed while the country would be calm and everything remain in its place and every thing would be reformed quickly and all wishes would be fulfilled. These are matters that are impossible for a revolution. Some revolutions that have occurred about sixty years prior to this one are still facing problems. I am of the opinion that our revolution was the best revolution that with minimum losses has achieved the most results so far- and I hope that after this also we will achieve more. The point is that other revolutions have occurred with the toppling of one regime by another and a similar regime has taken over; while our Revolution is an Islamic revolution and is based on Islam; for this reason the post-revolution chaos is less. But altogether, we must come to terms with the difficulties a bit.
The need to look into the fundamental issues of the country
You who have been living in this world for fifty odd years, from the time you attained maturity, you saw that you were always facing difficulties and were always under pressure and repression and all the woes; now it is about five months since this government has taken over; this new Islamic government, the Islamic Republic has been established. We have yet again not settled those basic problems. Well, the basic issues are the constitution that must be approved; the Consultative Assembly that must be elected; the president that must be selected so that an established and elected government follows this interim government. I also know that these problems do exist, both for you and for all the strata of the nation. It is not that you imagine that there are certain problems for you and not for others; problems are for everyone; and I hope that if the Islamic government is established in the manner that we want so that there are no discriminations among the various strata, then all of us shall, God willing, progress under the banner of Islam and everyone shall be cared for.
The aspiration to establish an Islamic government and its objectives
Pray that all these disturbances and these plots that are now being hatched and almost everywhere a conspiracy is at work, be they from the former regime or from the deviant groups- there are deviant groups that are now planning conspiracies- pray that God willing, they would be eliminated and an established government be formed. The rest is easy. I hope that such things are resolved soon. This Islamic government is not like the taghouti regime which consumed all its time for creating disorder in our country and worked only for its own benefit. I hope that God willing, a just Islamic government is established and the interests of all are looked after and all the strata benefit from its results; and may it cause both your material world and your hereafter to flourish. May God protect all of you and may you be successful.
May God's peace, mercy and blessings be upon you
