Honor of the appraisal against the arrogant

I do not know from where to start. Should I present condolences to the nation for the agonies they have experienced throughout this period? Or should I present condolences for the agonies of the 15 th of Khordad «2» or the agonies of 17 th and 19 th Dey? These last two years all the days have had been for our nation's days of pain and havoc. But they have had been entwined with the honor of martyrdom. To sacrifice blood for Islam and for independence is an honor. We have gained a prestige in the world because we have campaigned against the arrogant. Our nation, all its classes- ladies and men has campaigned and came out victorious over the forces of Satan. So congratulations to you for these martyrdoms, these sacrifices and these agonies too. Again congratulations to you for the change and diversion that has taken place in you. It started from the petroleum industry and cut the veins of the foreigners. Be blessed this victory to you. Be blessed this change that has occurred in all the classes. One of its links is this Reconstruction Jihad. It runs in every place as this gentleman has said now.

The spirit of cooperation among the nation is appreciated

I should thank this nation for having attained a sense of cooperation. They campaigned themselves without awaiting other to come to their aid. They progressed in all fronts with prowess. My brothers, today Iran belongs to you, and now stands beyond the reach of the hands of foreigners. The reason for their cooking some or plot for you. As you stood manly and made them to retreat, and erased that satanic wall to the ground, now too be firm and stand manly and carry ahead the campaign. The ruins are yours. And it is also yours to get the ruins flourish with rehabilitation and reconstruction. The ruins have no extent. It is such that a class among the society cannot do alone. It needs that the whole nation should come forward to get it addressed. This appraisal too is counted for God. It is for Islam and for the country. So we should go ahead and cut short the hands of the betrayers. I thank you all. I thank the nation. I thank you for your coming over here from the Tehran refinery. And some have come from the North. May God always assist you.
May God's peace, mercy and blessings be upon you.
«۱»- Imam Husayn: grandson of the Prophet, and also known as the Doyen of the Martyrs [Sayyid ash-Shuhada]. In ۶۰ AH [۶۸۰ CE], Imam Husayn refused to swear allegiance to Yazid, son of Mu'awiyah and second caliph of the Umayyad dynasty, since Yazid did not possess legitimate authority and had succeeded to the caliphate by hereditary succession. The ensuing death of the Imam in battle at Karbala has always been commemorated by Shi`ah Muslims as the supreme example of martyrdom in the face of tyranny. It served as an important point of both ideological and emotive reference throughout the Islamic Revolution in Iran. `Ashoura, the tenth day of Muharram, is the day on which he was martyred in Karbala. See Shaykh Muhammad Mahdi Shams ad-Din, The Revolution of al-Husayn, http://www.al-islam.org/revolution; Ibrahim Ayati, A Probe into the History of `Ashoura (Karachi: Islamic Seminary Publications, ۱۹۸۴); Zakir, Tears and Tributes  Qum: Ansariyan Publications); Yasin T. al-Jibouri, Kerbala and Beyond (Qum: Ansariyan Publications); Sayyid Wahid Akhtar," Karbala: An Enduring Paradigm of Islamic Revivalism," Al-Tawhid Journal, http://www.al-islam.org/al-tawhid/paradigm-akhtar.htm. «۲»- On June ۳,۱۹۶۳, Imam Khomeini delivered a historic speech in Qum, repeating former denunciations of the Shah's regime and warning the Shah not to behave in such a way that the people would rejoice when he should ultimately be forced to leave the country. Two days later, he was arrested at his residence and taken to confinement in Tehran. His arrest prompted a major uprising in many Iranian cities, which resulted in the deaths of not less than ۱۵,۰۰۰ people in the span of a few days when the Shah's troops opened fire on unarmed demonstrators. The date on which this uprising began was ۵ th June or ۱۵ th Khordad according to the solar calendar used in Iran and became known as the uprising or movement of ۱۵ th Khordad.
