In the Name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful
Your Excellency `Ali Nasir Muhammad, Secretary General of the Socialist Party and the President of Yemen,
Thank you for the congratulatory telegraph message of Your Excellency on the new lunar Hijri year. Unfortunately, the New Year comes at a time when the Muslims of the world are afflicted with various types of sorrows. Everyday, fresh plots are hatched by the superpowers and especially the criminal America launches plans against them and are being implemented. The stance of many of the leaders of the Muslim countries vis-a-vis these conspiracies are clear to all. Instead of unity and strengthening one anther to confront the enemies, they are at each other's throat. They have signed military contracts and treaties of cooperation against the Islamic Republic and the Muslim[ people of ]Iran. I pray to the Almighty God to eliminate these disorders and anxieties. May God's peace and mercy be upon you.
Rouhullah al-Mousawi al-Khomeini
