Impossibility of collecting statistics of the crimes inflicted on Iran

Of course, the attempt is a very fruitful one, but I don't think that by human statistics the crimes inflicted on Iran can be collected. You can reflect a small amount, but the spiritual dimension of the disaster cannot be presented in statistics. How do you want to show in statistics the heart palpitations, those bereaved hearts that endured the disaster courageously and the weeping eyes? These are the crimes perpetrated by superpowers. If the war ends in the victory of Islam, all these disasters will be redressed. If not, we still will have the" Week of War". God forbid the war may continue for another year and we may have one more" Week of War". These ravenous wolves that try wholeheartedly to keep Saddam and continue to support him have surrounded us but one who has committed treason against his country, Iran and Islam cannot be kept. Today Saddam professes Islam and performs prayer, which cannot recite correctly. Even these expressions are blessings of war; otherwise, they are anti-Islam and the Ba'ath Party was founded on negation of Islam. They are disgusted with Islam as is Islam with them. They have arrested a number of the `ulama' in Iraq of whom I know some such as Haj Sayyid Yousuf Hakim and killed some others. These cannot be put down on paper or displayed as they are, but you should try to present those facts that can be introduced. The important thing is introducing these facts to the world.

Presenting Islam to the world through the war

Today, the US, the Soviet Union, France and other big powers feel a sense of threat from Islam and thus they have launched a propaganda campaign in favor of Saddam. They think- and they are right- that if Islamic Republic gains foothold and remains, they would not have any foothold. They are afraid that their hand should be may be curtailed from the entire region. Although the war was unpleasant and destroyed our cities, it had its blessings and Islam was introduced to the world. In the war it became clear which individuals and powers stood against Islam, which people were afraid of Islam and which powers rose up against Islam. Everything became clear in the war. The superpowers neither want to keep Saddam nor do they want to pound us. They fear Islam and want to crush Islam. For this reason, they are opposed to us and support him. They know that people of Islamic countries stand against them and that people of non-Islamic countries such as the blacks tilt towards us.
Hence, we should try to reflect and disseminate what is going on in Iran for two reasons: First, the crimes against us will be disclosed; Second, those who have committed these crimes against us and, above all, those helping and backing them as well as those giving them tanks, plans and missiles to attack us can be introduced to the world. We should make them understand that if they continue to support Saddam, we will curtail their hands from oil. If they help Saddam hit our economic resources, they will not see oil. I hope such a thing may not happen. The main thing is the crimes of these superpowers as well as France, but the one inflicting greater damage is the US.

Criterion of human dignity

I hope that the Iranian people will continue to stand tall in the same way they have done so far. I hope the people of Iran are together and preserve their dignity. Previously, we were abjectly dependent. Muhammad-Rida had succumbed and we were like a wretched servant before the US, but Iran cast aside this wretchedness and gained dignity. Food, bread and water are not good measures; the important thing is the human dignity. It is below dignity to bow to a person in the hope of getting some pennies. Human dignity lies in standing against bullying. Our youths did so, but they, in return, imposed economic sanctions on us. These sanctions helped awaken our youths and they realized that to cut dependence they were required to make great efforts. May God grant you success in cultural and propaganda activities!
May God's peace and mercy be upon you!
