In the Name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful
Farvardin 19,1359 AHS
The nation of Iran! I got the news of the ties breakage between America and Iran. If Mr. Carter has done anything good and beneficial to a victim in his life, it is only this. He has cut the ties. As a matter of fact, the relation between a nation that has upraised to free itself from the grip of the international plunderers and the world hungry plunderer is always to the benefit of the latter and the loss of a victim nation. We take this breakage of relations for granted of a good omen. This abruption of ties disappointed America and it is that its hope is cut, too. If the upraised nation of Iran at the stigma of its final victory rejoices in a feast, it will be quite rightful and quite befitting. It has reviled a superpower, the bloodthirsty, to cut its ties, that is the end of its looting and robbery. We are hopeful of the perdition of its elements, Sadat and Saddam Husayn to happen soon.
The noble Muslim nations shall deal with treacherous parasites in a way as our nation did with the traitor Muhammad-Rida. The nations subsequently shall proceed to cut the relations with superpowers, particularly with America, so that they could live in freedom and absolute independence. I have often remarked that our ties with countries such as America are the ties between a victim nation and a world-hungry robber.
O, the dear nation! You, for the sake of the God's delight, overruled your enemy by the cry of" God is greater". You attained freedom and independence. Be in precinct to appear face to face with the enemies of Islam and the oppressed ones by trusting in God and unity of the word. It is the will of God that you are victorious. You shall overrun the difficulties.
Saddam Hussein like the deposed Shah has shown his ugly un-Islamic and inhumane face. He has been strictly determined to annihilate Islam and the religious institution of Najaf. He has dealt with Muslims in a way to please Carter as the Moguls did. He has behaved the clergies, particularly His Holiness Muhammad-Baqir Shard as Rida Khan and his son did. He must have known that by these actions, he is only digging his own grave and that of the illegitimate regime of Ba`ath.
The noble nation of Iraq! You are the sons of those who expelled the Britons from Iraq. Get up! Cut the hands of the criminal and expel him from your Islamic country before he could snatch away everything of yours. O, the tribes of Euphrates and Tigris. «1» Get united with the nation.
Cut the root of corruption before you may lose the opportunity. Defend the sacred Islam and your Islamic country for the sake of God. God is with you.
O, the army of Iraq! Do not obey this anti-Islam and anti-Qur'an guy. Be in the fold of the nation and cut the hand of America stretched out from the sleeves of Saddam. You should know that it is against God to obey this murderer. Its punishment of is shame and flame.
I pray to God for the glory of Islam and the Muslims and Iran. Peace, blessings and mercy of God be upon you.
