In the Name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful
Ramadan 24,1399 AH
Mordad 27,1358 AHS
From the different parts of Iran, various groups consisting of the military, the Guard Corps and the zealous people have requested me to give them the order to move toward Paveh and end the disturbance. I thank them and I warn the government, the military and the gendarmeries that if they do not move toward Paveh with guns, tanks and armed personnel within the next 24 hours, I shall consider all of them responsible.
As the Commander-in-chief of all the Armed Forces, I command the chief of staff of the armed forces to dispatch fully equipped forces immediately to the region. I order all the barracks of the military and gendarmerie forces- without waiting for the next order and waste of time- to move fully armed toward Paveh. And I order the government to arrange immediately for arming of the Guard Corps.
Until further notice, I regard the disciplinary forces to be responsible for this savage massacre. And if they disobey this command, I shall act revolutionarily with them. Repeatedly they are sending information from the region that the government and the armed forces have not done anything. If within the next 24 hours, no positive action is taken, I shall regard the chiefs of the armed forces and the gendarmerie to be responsible. Peace [be with you].
