In the Name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful
Mr. Fidel Castro, President of the Republic of Cuba,
I received your message of condolence on the tragic martyrdom of the beloved president and prime minister of our country. I appreciate your sympathy and kindness. It is quite obvious that with your long-lasting fight against this blood-thirsty demon and criminal America, you better understand our situation where these crimes are committed by the agents of America and you know the falsity of the extensive propaganda against us all over the world. I ask God to bring shame on the plotters and to grant victory to the nations under oppression over these superpowers.
