His Excellency Leonid Brezhnev,
General Secretary,
The Communist Party of the Soviet Union
I received your condolence message on the tragic earthquake of the Kerman province. I am grateful for your warm concern. I pray to God Almighty for the success and prosperity of all the deprived nations and the oppressed peoples of the world.
