Speech [The conspiracies of the American agents in Iran]

I become delighted to see the bright faces of you good friends of mine, who have walked from Kermanshah (a city located 350 kilometers from Tehran) to come here to announce your support for Islam and for the Islamic Republic of Iran, and for the University students who have captured the espionage den. I humbly ask God to make you succeed. I wish you will succeed in cutting the hands of the agents of the foreign powers from your country. You have come here together with the greetings and encouragements of the people of the villages and towns and cities along your long journey from Kermanshah to Tehran.

However, among the people there are some American agents who are busy agitating and making disturbances. You might have heard about the revolt in Tabriz. These are not people from Tabriz. The Tabrizi people would not rise against Islam. Tabrizis, like other Muslims, have always supported Islam. They have been genuine supporters of Islam. The agitators are the agents of the foreign powers and we have found records of their conspiracies among the files in the espionage den. We have documents against those who occupied the radio and television offices in Tabriz, but these agitators have been expelled by people. The leaders of these rebels have had connections with the United States. Nowadays they have tried to deceive the villagers in Tabriz villages to revolt against the central government. They plan more conspiracies, everyday.

I would like to warn the pious people of Tabriz, the villages of Tabriz and all nation of Azarbayjan against the command for the start of holy war issued by Mr. so and so. «1» Do they issue the command for a holy war against Islam? And that only for the sake of Carter? Are you issuing such commands to let Carter succeed in occupying your country? Those who utter such nasty remarks are the servants of enemies. They are related to the American embassy. Somebody all of them will be tried in court. They will be taken in custody. Let the Azerbaijan people capture them; we will then try them. These are true enemies of Islam. These are the enemies of Iran. Definitely they will be tried. The villagers of Tabriz should ask the clergy about the nature of this kind of propaganda. They should not do anything to agitate a bloodshed and massacre. We do not want to destroy them. The Tabrizis will do so themselves. We are not after bloodshed. Rather, we prefer peace and quiet. We need tranquility to improve in our plans.

Now we are confronting a huge enemy. This enemy is determined to demolish Islam, to capture Iran, and to have control over our lives, like before. But suddenly a group of rascals, whose origins are known to us, rise to support Carter. Let the clergymen in Tabriz send some envoys to the villages to direct people towards the right path.

The honorable people of Tabriz should guard against such conspiracies. But this should done calmly. You should prohibit bloodshed. You have come here to support Islam. The Azarbayjan people, too, try to defend Islam. Every citizen of this country has uprisen to defend Islam. However, a group of atheists, ignorant of the principles of Islam, a group of traitors have start agitation. They had planned to revolt in Qum. But it was stopped. Then they headed for Azarbayjan. There, too, they met with failure. Now they are in villages to start disturbances and riot. However, such uprisings will be pacified by the villagers themselves.

Now we are on our way. However, we are confronted with a super power. They do not want us to succeed. These agitators were against Islam from the very beginning. They used to publish their publication in clandestine way. Their secret manifestoes were all against Islam. Iranian people, in general, as well as the people of Azarbayjan should be alert. Let us rise against this big enemy. We will definitely succeed in this affair. We will never let the enemy come to this country to dominate us. Let them devise plans to use economic sanctions against us. We do not get frightened by such sanctions. Besides, other countries are not slaves to Carter. They will ignore him. It is the illusion on the part of the superpowers to assume that nations all over the world would obey them. Carter is in trouble even in his own country. They have criticized him for his harsh and irrational decisions. Such a weak person should be expelled from the political arena.

The American nation should impeach Carter and get rid of him. He is not appropriate politician for the United States. He is a nasty president. He has brought ill fame for his country. Carter has, through his actions, mobilized the Muslim nations against the United States. He does not deserve to be the president. The American nation should not reelect him. The reason is that he has betrayed the Americans. Now, he is involved in conspiracies. He is acting against the American interests. This is and will be confirmed more by the American scholars.

I ask God for your health and for success for all Iranians. I am at your service. May God bless you all. May God destroy your enemies.
