In the Name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful
To the Great Leader of the Islamic Revolution, Imam Khomeini- may his sublime presence endure,
As it is known to the dear Leader, the formation of the Islamic Republic Party by the founding council dare in consultation with the Supreme Leader, was at a time when the need for an organization to address the numerous issues at the beginning of the revolution, the importance of haring solidarity and discipline among the faithful forces, developing revolutionary awareness, training active and efficient staff to administer the country, and thwarting the conspiracies of splinter groups and agents of foreign enemies and anti-revolutionary elements inside the country was felt. So far, this party has spent no effort in stabilizing the Islamic system and carrying out the great responsibilities it has assumed. During the leftist and rightist conspiracies, through sacrifice and offering martyrs some of whom were outstanding and unforgettable figures of the revolution such as the martyrs of Tir 7, it exposed the veil of hypocrisy and demonstrated the oppressed state and truth of the line of the Imam. «1»
Throughout the imposed war, the Islamic Republic Party across the country performed its Islamic duty of mobilizing the people and actively participating in the warfronts. A group of its staff and members have had the honor of attaining martyrdom in this sacred jihad. The devotion of the elements of this party to Islam and their firm conviction to Wilayah al-Faqih, which itself was a significant factor in vindicating the anti-revolution forces, demanded that during the different stages and junctures of the revolution, by seeking the guidelines of the Supreme Leader, the Party's activity be organized and the foundation of its policies laid.
Now, by the favor of God, the institutions of the Islamic Republic have been stabilized and the level of political awareness and understanding of the nation has made the revolution invulnerable in many aspects. And the insight, trust in God and administrative power of the Eminent Leader and the sacrifices and readiness of the Hizbullah people have rendered ineffective the conspiracies of the internal anti-revolutionaries and the global imperialism. Thus, it is felt that the existence of the party will no longer have those benefits and utilities which were experienced the beginning of the work. On the contrary, it is possible that the factionalism in the present circumstances may cause difference and discord as well as rupture in the unity and cohesion of the nation. It could even make the forces confront one another and undermine one another. As such, as it has been repeatedly stated before, after an extensive and lengthy discussion and study with the absolute majority, the Central Committee arrived at the conclusion that the present interests of the revolution lies in the dissolution of the Islamic Republic Party and termination of all its activities.
Your sublime opinion is highly sought. And the command is with you. May Allah grant you longevity.

Their Excellencies Hujjat al-Islams Khamene'i and Hashimi- may they always succeed,
It is approved. It is necessary to note that I am fond of the honorable founders of the party. I hope that at this critical juncture, all would strive in advancing the lofty objectives of Islam and the Islamic Republic through unity and solidarity. Meanwhile, I would like to note that offence against any Muslim, whether member of the party or not, is against the rules of Islam, and sowing discord at this time is among the major sins. May God's peace and mercy be upon both of you.
