In the Name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful
His Excellency Mr. Rajiv Gandhi, Prime Minister of India,
The receipt of your congratulatory telegram on the 9 th anniversary of the victory of the Islamic Revolution of Iran is acknowledged with gratitude. By relying on God, the Exalted, and through their fortitude, resistance and persistent struggle, the noble people of Iran succeeded in delivering themselves from the yoke of the world-devouring America and its mercenaries. It is hoped that through the same method, the other deprived nations could pave the grounds for their salvation.
