In the Name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful
Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution and Commander in Chief of the Armed Forces Imam Khomeini- may his sublime presence endure;
The politico-military movements of the global imperialism and the reactionary minions defending the Ba`ath regime and the extensive struggles to save the Iraqi regime steadily strengthen the notion of vulnerability and extreme weakness of the enemy and truly justify inflicting decisive and successive blows on it. Meanwhile, the efforts of the international bodies in the recent month have wasted our time, given our enemy more opportunity and failed to lead to a just settlement of the current issues thus undermining optimism with all these efforts. Through a close examination of the minutes of the numerous meetings, the Supreme War-Support Council, after holding the seminar attended mostly by the distinguished `ulama', Friday prayer leaders, and officials of the government and revolutionary institutions, and in view of the ardent readiness of the people to participate in the sacred defense, has arrived at the conclusion that in equipping the needed number for a series of decisive and successive operations throughout the lines of contact and in preparing the required equipments for this sensitive stage, it is necessary to make use of the facilities and means of the country more than ever before. Your Eminence are requested to express your sublime commands and instructions.
Supreme War-Support Council
Rabi` al-Awwal 19,1408 AH

In His Most Exalted Name
The Supreme Ware- Support Council,
It has been repeatedly stated that this imposed war is on top of all affairs and that it is necessary to attain victory as soon as possible through the combined efforts of all strata of the country and by the grace of God Almighty. Therefore, whatever has been identified by the Supreme War-Support Council and experts on war affairs should be done and negligence should be avoided. I should take this opportunity to extend my gratitude to all strata of the nation, especially the distinguished `ulama', leaders of the Friday and congregational prayers and honorable preachers who performed their duties worthily by spending their properties and sacrificing their lives and that of their dear ones in the cause of Islam. I appreciate with all my heart the magnificent nation that shook the back of the filthy criminals, America in particular through the recent rallies.
I pray to God, the Exalted, for victory and more power to the combatants, mercy and felicity to the martyrs and disabled war veterans, freedom to the prisoners of war, fortitude to the bereaved ones, and health and perseverance to the officials.
Rouhullah al-Mousawi al-Khomeini
