In the Name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful
His Excellency Fidel Castro, President of the Democratic Republic of Cuba,
Your telegram in support of the great revolution of the noble nation of Iran is received. I thank you for your support and sympathy at this sensitive occasion with our victim and agonized nation. Mr. Carter has shown his real face to the people of the world by his open aggression against Iran. This bestial action of his has proved the falsehood of his claim of human rights and human brotherhood.
We by the help of God shall stand against the enemies of Islam and the oppressed nations particularly the world hungry America till we totally eradicate them. Our faith in God shall guarantee our victory over all the enemies.
I wish God would be on your side and grant you success.
Rouhullah al-Mousawi al-Khomeini
