In the Name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful
Reports have just been received that in Sanandaj, the Democrat Party has laid a siege on the military forces and their logistics; and if help does not reach them within half an hour, they shall capture their weapons and ammunitions. We have been informed from the mosque in Sanandaj that the Democrat Party has taken our women as hostages. I strictly command all the disciplinary forces to communicate to the barracks of the capital to dispatch sufficient forces to Sanandaj and vigorously crush the rebels. The Guard Corps of the Revolution- wherever they are- should move in sufficient strength toward Sanandaj and Kurdistan- by air- and be mobilized to crush vigorously all the rebels. Delay- even for an hour- is violation of duty and shall be strongly prosecuted. I ask the people of Iran to be alert and report any violator of the forces immediately. I expect to be given the news of the general mobilization within the next half an hour. Peace [be with you].
