In the Name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful
His Excellency Leonid Brezhnev, Chairman of the Presidium of the Soviet Union,
I acknowledge the receipt of your Excellency's message of congratulations on the occasion of the third anniversary of the victory of the Islamic Revolution of Iran with appreciation. I beseech God, the Most Blessed and Exalted, to save the deprived and oppressed people of the world from the domination of tyrants and arrogant powers. It is hoped that the glorious revolution of the honorable people of Iran will be a model for them as well.
