Speech [The conspiracies of America and small political parties vis-a-vis the Islamic Revolution and the Constitution]

In the Name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful

I would like to sincerely thank you shrouded men and women who have come from the city of Babolsar to support Islam and the Islamic Republic. I pray for all of you. I am at your service. You are well aware of the fact that this juncture of our history is extremely crucial. We are confronted with super power of the United States, which has at its disposal all means of propaganda and weaponry. On the other hand, we are facing the remnants of the old regime and the disbelievers, who are active in every corner of the country not to let us succeed with our Islamic Republic.

You referred to those cases in your city, Babolsar, in which propaganda was spread to discourage people from voting for the Constitution. These agitators would not like Islam to be established in this country. From the very beginning, these aggressors tried frantically to keep that corrupted man in power. Then, they attempted to keep the kingdom regime. Later they endeavored to defend Bakhtiyar. Their final trial was to support the previous constitution. But they have failed in all of these efforts. They camouflaged and became national figures overnight. Some of them became religious. At one time, they were fond of kingdom and wanted to renew it. At a later time, they equaled the word" kingdom" with the word" aggression." But, in fact, they were after a government based on kingdom.

Now we are at a critical moment of confrontation with the United States. It would be better if some individuals discarded their disputes and concentrated more on this issue. These individuals do not realize that if this nation were defeated in front of the United States, there would remain nothing of Azarbayjan or Iran in general. Those agents who are at the service of the United States and are cooperating with that country and are producing these commotions can not visualize what would happen to them if the UnitedvStates dominated Iran. They could not realize what would happen to the respectable nation of Iran, to Azarbayjan, to Khouzestan, to Kurdistan, to Sistan and to Balouchistan. All these masses of the Iranian nation agree with the Islamic Republic of Iran, but they defy the United States. But these people, unfortunately, are deceived by these agitators who appear in disguise as patriots. They misguide people and influence them in the wrong path. All this they do so that the United States could follow their plans against us.

The United States is worried to see our youth are united and have got shrouded and is ready for being martyred. It also fears its political defeat. The United States is worried that we might disclose the crimes of the previous presidents, and especially those of the incumbent president. The Americans would like to make us busy with insignificant disputes and lead us towards inside decay. They want to create internal conflicts. They have created the revolt of Azarbayjan for their purpose. They want to keep us busy inside so that we might forget about our main enemy, which is the United States. They want to distract our attentions towards Azarbayjan, although the issue of Azarbayjan is not very important, in deed.

Some agitators carried out some infamous political acts. However, the Azarbayjan people should condemn such devilish acts. But these viscious people, through showing their favor towards a man, «1» who himself has denied such allegations, are trying to mislead the simple hearted, naive population. They try their best to hinder the Iranian nation from getting along with their projects. These turmoils are superficially created so that we might forget the main issues and be carried away over unimportant topics.

The Iranian nation should be alert, and not be deceived by those agitators who call themselves the" supporters of the nation," or by those rebels who invaded the offices of radio and television in Tabriz. These nasty individuals want to deter us from disclosing the nature of those crimes which the previous presidents of the United States have committed against Iran. This is their only method to create artificial commotions in Iran. We have to stay alert. The nation should realize that our task is more delicate and complicated than our task at the era of Muhammad-Rida during the days when we were face to face with Muhammad-Rida, all nations recognized their enemy and that was Muhammad-Rida. But today we are faced with a band of agitators who are hidden among our nation. They pretend to belong to the nation but their path is different from ours. They agitate people against us and we are aware of their agitation.

Now we have a harder task ahead of us. We want to force the United States to account for the crimes they have done against us. They want to prevent us from convening an international court here in Iran in which all delegates of all nations could participate and through which we could disclose the crimes done against the Iranian nation. We want to find out who has plundered our national reserves. But they would like us not to succeed in these affairs.

As I have been informed money and weapons are being distributed among people in Tabriz. But this simple hearted people do not realize what is going on behind the scene. You are receiving this weaponry to rise against Islam; you received this money to defy Islam. We know the sources of this weaponry. Let our people get alert. You, who have come from Babolsar, be watchful not to let this kind of conspiracy take place in your region. Our people there should not be influenced by the propaganda newspapers being distributed among people, as this sister of ours has announced now. People should not assume that the Constitution is not national in content. They should not think this law is not Islamic. This rule was written by those who were nationalist and religious. These experts prepared the rule and then it was confirmed by our nation. Those who deny the legality of this rule are doing injustice to our nation. They want to prevent this nation from following its objectives. Be alert! Do not listen to these rigmaroles! Today you should stay united, against the United States. We will, God willing, succeed. Islam will succeed. May God help us against those who are going astray.

May God's peace, mercy and blessings be upon you.
