In the Name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful

Propaganda, the most penetrating of weapons

We should maintain coordination in all affairs, particularly coordination in propaganda, which is of utmost importance. You should endeavor to preserve unity and coordination in a way that would thwart any form of evil propaganda.
You know that propaganda is more effective than weapons in the war arena. One should be frightened by their (foreign) propaganda more than their weapons. Unfortunately, we are weak in this respect. We should strengthen our morale and, with all our existence, profess our ability to stand on our own feet. It is very important that our experts have confidence in their own expertise. You see what blow Muhammad-Rida inflicted on the morale of our physicians. He treated the doctors in a way that, for instance, he had to fly abroad to undergo a simple surgery. This behavior was a scheme to weaken the morale of our experts, inculcating the idea that they were lagging behind in all fields. Today, we should be determined to outdo them in all fields.
You, in whose hands a part of the propagation operation is, should struggle in this area so that people will come to believe that they will not fall behind others. Although the enemy dominates foreign radios, people know that they are telling lies. Be strong by trusting in God. Construct everything from afresh and ensure that they will push forward. It is true that you have little experience in the job, but consider that you want to work for God, not for name and fame. We want our country to be independent from all aspects. Therefore, we should persist in our task for the gratification of God so that we will render independent not only our country but also all the peoples of the world.
It is my hope that with coordination and discipline in propaganda, all the machinations of the enemy will be foiled. The enemy will not launch a military attack, because he knows that a military attack is not workable. They attempted to deal a blow from within us but to no avail. In spite of this, they did not desist from disseminating propaganda; they want to disrupt our unity by means of evil propaganda. So, you should close ranks as much as you can, be more coordinated and pursue one and the same goal. I hope you will be successful in your tasks and can serve the people.
May God's peace, mercy and blessings be upon you.
