In the Name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful
Representatives of some nations and political parties have come to destroyed Iran to see into the crimes of the government of America and the Shah towards our nation and also into the crimes of the allies of America including the deposed Shah Muhammad-Rida. We thank you for the trouble taken in this regard. I should point out that the government and the nation of Iran is not able to gather all the documents of the crimes that stretch a span of fifty years of the Shah's regime and thirty years of American government. So we are at a failure to present them to you.
How is it possible to gather the documents of wild and bestial tortures, murders and assassinations and the imprisonments of the past tyrant regime that ruled fifty years over Iran? How can it be possible for us to gather the names of the martyrs of the Gowharshad Mosque and the repeated massacres throughout the tyrant rule of Muhammad-Rida? Is it possible to collect the names of those fallen in the massacres of 15 th of Khordad 1342 AHS and up to now till the downfall of the Shah, particularly the last two to three years? Similarly, how can it be possible to collect the imposed contracts of the American capitalists made through the Shah against the oppressed nation of Iran? Furthermore, how can it be possible to present to the honorable representatives, the graves of the martyrs all over Iran filled by the collective murderers? Besides, is it possible to present you the bodily unfit population scattered all over Iran, which came into being since the 15 th of Khordad 1342 AHS till the recent years?
The thing that the government can do is that it can show you a very small number of documents, which were not destroyed by the American elements because they did not have time as they were overtaken by surprise.
The documents are in the so-called Embassy of America. Most of the important documents are reduced to powder by the staff of the Embassy. The documents in hand prove the American interference into the Iranian affairs.
American advisors direct interference in our destiny and the sanctity of our nation. It was the Shah's great treason to our nation that he imposed the capitalization «1» to please the Americans. This was confronted by the nation and the clergies of the country. Since then, all types of crimes were committed against the nation. You, the representatives, please do know the American Embassy is named erroneously an embassy whereas in reality it is an espionage station having the equipment and material especially meant for espionage, which were used to do the spying in the whole region. This place was constructed specially for spying in our country and deciding the destiny of the nation. Bringing troops to an independent country is an unpardonable crime. Carter said that he once interfered militarily in Iran. I should say that our nation has witnessed that the other nations support the tyrant and condemn the victim. Our nation is now waiting for you, the representatives. You have come to Iran to investigate into the crimes of America and the deposed Shah. We anticipate and hope justice and straightforwardness. We hope your investigations will result in the condemnation of the oppressor.
I pray to God for the rescue of the oppressed people of the world. Peace be upon those who follow the guidance.
