ABOUT FOREIGNERS

  A national struggle at this stage which meets with others at common goals for resisting this wild ghoul as an urgent human struggle and a duty to be done by all for the sake of living in a world where no tyrant, oppressor or unjust exploiter can be the sole power, and a world which is both cooperating and secure, capable of seizing its legitimate opportunities without foreign dominion or hegemony. :: 980117

  After that, there emerged local rulers, leaders or assistants to others in Iran from the very peoples who did not entertain anything good for the central authority in the Islamic State.

  After they had consolidated Islam in those lands through crushing the apostates and stamping out the spirit of apostasy, they headed for Syria and cleansed the whole land, and for Egypt, Daughter of the Nile, and broke the power of Byzantium. :: 000106.

  All the time in the cages of captivity, Iranian POWs had been in contact with International Red Cross; they have enjoyed all the POW's rights in accordance with their proper context.

  All this in addition to the authentic records of history may also expound how and why the Elamite Persian King Schuturk-Nachonettihad stolen the renowned Code of the Iraqi King, Hammurabi, and how he attempted to erase Hammurabi's name beneath these laws out of envy and hatred of that great Iraqi king and in pursuit of a remedy for the illness of mind and soul which that Elamite had inherited from his fathers.

  All this, combined with the level of threats posed by America and its allies to the whole humanity, the maintenance by the West of NATO, increasing its membership and expanding it towards the East after the breakdown of the former Soviet Union which NATO was formed under the pretext of encountering its dangers, in addition to what may be said that the West has its own concepts, interests, heritage, standards and other affairs, and the East has its own location, development, role, the historical depth of this role and its obligations, culture, heritage, foundations, meanings and other affairs, and since the policy of America, Britain, Zionism allied with them and those who support and cooperate with them, has become a danger to the world security, stability and its international and regional interests.

  And because the people of Baghdad, I mean the rulers in it, were not quite prepared when the Mongols and Tatars invaded the territory of China, India, Persia and the surroundings, their invasion of Baghdad was in agreement of what history had described, and which later include Syria and the parts connected to it.

  And just as those concerned in Iran failed to predict the limits of confrontation between force and power, having been blinded and intoxicated by their imagination that the course of events was already tilting in their favour, on the basis of a mere comparison between force and force, the Americans and their allies failed to estimate the effectiveness of Iraq's power in countering their brute force.

  Arab brothers, In our speech of last July 1997 and in the series of statements made by the leadership and senior officials in Iraq, there were successive calls on the importance of an Arab solidarity on the governmental level, which we believe inevitable for fulfilling the requirements of development and of countering foreign ambitions and hostility. :: 980117

  At any time power finds itself free from force in Iran, Iran will be the victor.

  At that time, the foreigner may retreat without shedding blood. :: 980717

  Baghdad has emitted radiance that conveys the morals and illuminates the way with beams reaching all parts of the world under the care and protection of the Most Compassionate.

  Baghdad Summit 1990. In 1990, the Arabs gathered in an Arab summit held in Baghdad. Syria did not attend that summit although its officials were invited. Some Arab states did not attend on the level of the first officials. Nevertheless, its decision had a thunderous impact on the Zionist entity and on the makers or followers of its aggressive policies. :: 980717

  Based on what was suggested by our memory of the Iranian officials' slogans in the past era and present, among which the slogan we recalled concerning USA which they called then the Great Satan, we thought, wrongly, that there was some possibility of a minimal adherence to those slogans, because we did not imagine that whosoever, especially those who claim that Islam is their religion, could express differently from what they concealed and could abandon overnight their slogans and even counteract them, particularly the battle was between Iraq under the protection of the Most Compassionate on one hand, and what they have labelled then "the Great Satan", i.e., USA, and its ally Zionism and their allies or those siding with them on the other.

  Because each token of the two countries, Iraq and Iran, has now had an explicit description, action, policy and course after such a long period of governance and conflict, any one, near or far including the Iranian peoples can be assigned a special description for each as well as the pros and cons of each.

  Below is the list: Afghanistan. Usama bin Laden… the Islamic Qa'ida (base) party or organization… Syria. Yemen… Algeria. Iraq… Lebanon…Palestine.

  Brothers, when Iraq emerged victor on that day, it had, before that, defeated jugglery and imposture with certainty, loss with faith and the cause, disunity with unity, aversion with piousness, grudge with tolerance, hatred with love, egoism with altruism, loneliness of isolation with company and collective work, darkness with light, introversion with extroversion, feeling of weakness with invocation of factors of capability inside oneself, hesitation with decisive resolution, indifference with seriousness and clear stand, laziness with perseverance and work, arrogance with modesty, exaggeration withexactness, igwith knowledge, unbalanced haste with accuracy and patience, negligence with alertness and presence of mind, disruption with continuity, pessimism with optimism, slowness with speed, quantity with the faithful quality, lies with honesty, honesty, and honesty, vagary with truth, fear of foreigner with fear of God, obedience of foreigner with love of our people amidst the Nation and humanity, with full trust in the people and in oneself, after our trust in God.

  But God stood by right against falsehood after the banner of right was stained with the blood of freedom fighters whether in the battlefields or in the POW camps in Iran. :: vic.

  Could this charge mean anything other than the desire to settle old scores, all based on the assumption that their foreign policies are incompatible with the American policy, or they do not give in to the US-Zionist policy vis-à-vis the world and Palestine?.

  Despite foreign interventions, particularly British and French, were made to make the establishment of the Arab League as a substitute for the Arab unity whose slogans were strongly raised by the Arab masses which called for the unity and by which they rocked the chairs of government and the remnants of colonialism in the great Arab homeland, the old colonialism was not able to control the subsequent march of the Arab League because the Arab masses and their great slogans and struggle were against the colonialist will. :: 980717

  Finally there is something in your letter that you asked to be corrected , if it was wrong about the ex President Bush , is giving us reason to believe that he was our ally in the issue of Kuwait , but he was forced to abide with the United-Nations…. :: 011018.

  For about eight centuries, development had come to a halt, in fact it had receded incessantly in another direction because the foreign Ottoman ruler, albeit his claims of ruling in the name of Islam, was in reality running the State through a narrow prospect relevant merely to the legacy, apprehensions and aspirations of his nation and people.

  For about eight hundred years, the link has been severed from the point of birth and its subsequent development and from the whole jurisprudence and legislations of the Islamic State at the period of the Rashidi (Rightly Guided) Caliphs and from the history and representative symbols of the State, its banners and jihad, and by so doing the Iranians offered an opportunity for the Iranian history, in pursuance of a certain conception, to perpetuate without disruption and for a new jurisprudence detached from the profound jurisprudence of the Islamic State and symbols including the sons and grandsons of Caliph Ali (May God be pleased with him).

  Force held power captive in Iran, whereas power overwhelmed force in Iraq, and everyone knows what was the result.

  From these considerations we can arrive at an explanation for the reason behind the offensive triggered by anti-Iraq leaders, for the continuation of the war for eight years and the failure of all efforts including those exerted by the Islamic Conference Organization and its Committee formed to stop the war and bring about peace between Iraq and Iran at that time.

  Greetings to our POWs in the cages of captivity in Iran, and great pride of their patriotic stances there….

  Greetings to the day we look forward to when the foundations of Arabs' relations, including Iraq's, with Iran are laid on their proper ground.

  Had the position of the Arab masses not been as we described, the Arab League would have been abolished at earlier stages of its march after the foreigners failed to make it a colonialist project that could be achieved as a substitute for theglorious Arab un. :: 980717

  Has Iran, in whole or in part, recovered from this!? We pray to God, the Most Exalted, to help the peoples of Iran and its officials to attain this.

  He then waged the war against Iraq , in a way that had nothing to do with the issue of Kuwait. :: 011018.

  His objective was to destroy all Iraq , and to deprive its people of the edifice they built , in several decades , and not merely getting the Iraqi armed forces out of Kuwait. :: 011018.

  I say that this the fundamental basis of the humanitarian viewpoint of , not only Saddam Hussein and the Iraqi people with him, but also of all Arabs, in all their great homeland , which was divided by British and French colonialism, and which the US is trying to halt its people's unity , and forbid them from enjoying their rights which God bestowed on them on their proper land. :: 011018.

  If some quarters in Iran abandon what is not praiseworthy of the past, they will see and find that the Arabs, including Iraq, have abandoned this and left it behind long time ago.

  In compatibility with the level of the gravity of sacrifices for resisting the greedy foreigners who are hostile to its legitimate objectives, the Revolution has elevated itself to the level of the sublimity, profoundness and comprehensiveness of its objectives, thus coming close to the universal and comprehensive principles, after it has satisfied the Lord of Great Absoluteness, and cleansed the soul and mind of any fanaticism dictated by certain practices of local and national specificity, particularly in the existing circumstances.

  In Iran, a new jurisprudence has been encouraged since long time ago to grow not on the basis of an independent judgment ijtihad which is right, indeed it is a duty as well, to deal with a certain case, circumstances and by-products of the development within its successive phases, but on the basis of a new birth dissociated from its profundity and lineage.

  In order to enhance doubts, fears or the unoriginal tendency of whose hearts and minds may weakly respond to the values and principles of our being one nation, or might misinterpret or not see the real motives of this or that foreigner who wants to exploits us. :: 020422.

  Invite all to the way of thy Lord with the wisdom and beautiful preaching, and argue with them in ways that are best and most gracious, for the lord knoweth best who have strayed from His path and who receive guidance.

  Iran's conduct is unprecedented.

  Iran had been victorious twice throughout its history, despite its military defeat: once, when the Arab Moslem armies killed the leaders of war, arrogance and aversion in the first battle of Qadissiya, Nehawand and other battles, such as Hormuzan, Rustum and finally the King of the infidels Kisra Yazdejird.

  Iran was within the Islamic State, led by the Arabs in general who were for some time its leaders, rulers or guides.

  Iran, up to now, has retained thousands of Iraqi POWs, and has even refused to register some of them at the Red Cross.

  Iranian peoples had not then waged a war for a long time and had faced all sorts of humiliation, coercion and hunger under that regime.

  Iranian peoples would have remained captives of deception for a long time after they would have wasted their energy, suffered subsequently bitter disappointment and immersed in the crimes of aggression and destruction.

  Iraq, for instance, released all Iranian prisoners of war (POWs) a short time after ceasefire, except one POW who was later set free just as we stated in our speech on the same occasion last year.

  It does not live on land without a sky nor does it manipulate weakness by clutching verbally to heavenly morals, which have no faith or solid ground.

  It is a triumph over those who have endeavoured to make Iran's history dissociated from the sources of perpetuity of the Islamic history and have dismissed the elements and virtues of love to be replaced by hatred which has been wedged by their own manner and thus distanced them from the stream of the principles of great Islam to continue uncleansed by the water of its upright principles.

  It is a victory even for those who are still in need of someone to lift for them the veil and burden of illusion, darkness and aversion with these conceptions in Iran.

  It is not yet known whether it was carried out by a foreign enemy or from inside.

  It is the same account behind the Iranian rulers who, when the great principles of True Islam were absent or absented, sought to destroy Baghdad in 1980 and to occupy Iraq, just as Krosch had destroyed Babylon in collaboration with the Jews in 539 B. C.

  It is they who have sold out their souls and have appointed (the occupying foreigner) to rule over everything that is dear and precious in the values and wealth of their people. :: vic.

  It was in the evening of that glorious day, the day of all days, that the communique of communiques, the seal of all communiques announced throughout the war between Iraq and Iran, was declared.

  Its faith, which God has given it and which the situation and banner was perfumed by generous blood from its sons, has been deepened by a scarifies which God has accepted in compensation for the negligence which took over those who ruled Baghdad, and therefore the foreigners with the horny feet of their horses, found their way towards it.

  May God help all the Iranian families which were stricken with the calamities of the war, yet they are still adherent to and entertaining a good-intention and love for relationship with Iraq because they realize and understand the significance and causes of the conflict and those who had triggered it.

  Nevertheless, even in those condition was their any country, big or small, that did not take force from the very name of the Arab nation, and remind its people the fact that they belong to this nation? Is their anyone who has not turned to the nation's potential, in part or in whole, against the foreign occupation forces, for liberation, or in the wars against them? :: 020422.

  No blame should lie on the people, nation, masses and armies when they see those designated with leading titles are whiling away their time, busying themselves in such affairs which are of no concern to the masses, and that they betray them to the foreigners, in which case their call against the foreigners who have ill-intentions and bad-deeds will be no more than a trick-cover.

  No one of us should be under the delusion of a strength that enables him to do without the efforts and force of fellow brothers, except after trying and reaching, God forbid, a point of despair. :: 020422.

  No one should make the mistake of thinking that if he is isolated from the other, he would be able by his force alone, protect his rights, and recover what my be usurped of it, because if weakness and the foreigner's greed prevailed, no one could escape them even, God forbid, at the price of himself, his people, and God's mercy. :: 020422.

  Now that it has become explicit that it is for the foreigners as it had been, in the 50's and not for the Arabs, is this then possible?.

  On account of the principles and morals we stated in our last 17 July speech, we can expound one aspect of the conflict that broke out in the glorious Qadissiya battle, after a series of offensives in which the Iranian officials concerned had released evil and depleted the potential energy of emotions which the revolution against Shah of Iran had liberated and released from its bulging long-necked bottle.

  On Iran's side, it is all their legacy of what was said or done in public, day and night, including the last official address by the highest-level official who accepted the ceasefire, which, once in effect, spared further bloodshed.

  On the basis of their well-known cover or covers of illusion and aversion, they formulated part of them in the shape of slogans for Iranian warriors, when they misled them into believing that (a pilgrimage to Kerbela' can only be made through the occupation of Baghdad and then Kerbela'), and not through establishing proper relations with Baghdad to reach Kerbela'.

  On this basis, the triumph of power, with its well-known factors, freed and will free those concerned in Iran from their brute view of force, with its well-known factors, including fanaticism as compared to an open and fair viewpoint.

  Our laboratory, whose tests can never fail, will be the relationship between Iraq and Iran. This is because, while the factor of geography makes Iraq the most capable of observation and verification, other additional factors: historical, social and spiritual make it the most capable of understanding Iran and the reality there as it is, and not as projected every now and then.

  Right had triumphed over falsehood; it was a victory for the sublime morals of humanity at large, including those Iranian peoples that believe in an anti-aggression course of policy.

  Some well-known quarters in Iran still hesitate to visit Baghdad and Kerbela', now that such a visit has been made possible to those who want to make it peacefully, as the people of Baghdad and Kerbela' have accepted that with their own free will.

  Sometimes, they had given a narrow sense to "those charged with authority among you" so as to confine it to the governor of the province at that moment instead of the Caliph or the Commander of the Faithful "Amir al-Mu'mineen" for the purpose of facilitating the task of the provincial governor in Iran and disputing with the Commander of the Faithful or the Caliph or rebelling against them.

  That might have suggested then contrary to reality it was as though Iraq were preventing the Iranian peoples from visiting the holy shrines so as to act as a cover for the slogans of expansion and aggressivity, which reveals too the reason behind Iran's collaboration with U. S. intelligence, Zionism and their supporters in the occupation of Sulaimania in northern Iraq following the 30-state aggression against Iraq in addition to other known examples of hostility such as Iranian air raids on Iraqi targets deep inside Iraq as well as missile attacks for the same purpose.

  The accelerated calls for the use of force, for harming Iraq and for launching aggression against it, until the war started on 4 September 1980, the persistent continuation of war, and the call for all that run counter to and contradict peace, are all matters that can hardly be interpreted except by saying that Iran had gone astray, taking a direction contrary to all that could help man achieve victory inside his soul and in his environment, over the elements of evil and over failure and weakness.

  The accommodation of more than one opinion in the Arab homeland vis-à-vis fundamental or fateful issues without constraints and without the discord which may cause destruction or collaboration with foreigners, and consultation strengthen the Arabs and is even beneficent to those who hold the view which is close to the appearance rather than the essence of the so-called available, peaceful solutions by this or that concerned and with the spirit of this stance, and the allusion to the Zionists and their allies to the so-called extremists and hawks in the confrontation of the humiliating insolence and arrogance rejectable by anyone with a sound mind and will.

  The Americans will retreat and depart, day after day, from the peak which they think they have reached when they dared to attack the glorious city of Baghdad with their bombs and missiles but the city, nevertheless, has proved to be impregnable to foreign aggression. :: 980117

  The Arab nation should be prepared from every aspect to confront any reaction or aggression, in solidarity and as one nation, with the faith that the foreigner cannot force us to anything we collectively refuse, and that if the foreigner tries anything against the weakest country among us, this country will be stronger that all the force of the foreigner, when it is in bosom of its nation, under its banner and that protection of its sword, and the solidarity of its people in the inside. :: 020422.

  The Arab oil was seized by the foreign companies of the imperialist and colonialist states whether in extraction, industrial treatment, transportation and exportation, in quality and pricing.

  The Arabs, including Iraqis, hope and call upon the officials and peoples of Iran not to become a tool in the hands of the covetous foreigner to harm Arabs, primarily Iraq.

  The Arabs, notably Iraq, are not expecting the officials in Iran to break a chain for them, nor relieve a burden on them or to get involved in battles which are the responsibility of the Arabs, in the first place, though this does not fall beyond the responsibility of those who have pronounced faith and guided aright.

  The description given above concerning the conduct of the Iranians concerned towards the Islamic history had encouraged Shah of Iran to celebrate and rejoice the 2500th anniversary of the Persian State, transgressing Iran's history within the Islamic State and taking no consideration of the Iranian peoples' stance or even the elite then.

  The first time the real value of oil, the range of market demands and its role in the strategic calculations of the states and their endeavour for foreign hegemony or imperialist-colonialist policy was known when Iraq nationalized its oil in 1972, and when nationalization was crowned with success after nine years of boycott imposed by the concessionary companies backed by their governments then, with the exception of France which took no part in it, but accepted special arrangements made by an initiative from Iraq in the era of the de Gaullist president Pompidou.

  The foreigner is trying to intimidate us, or to make some of us afraid of own people by saying to him that your rule or chair, or even your life is at stake if you do not follow my will. :: 020422.

  The foreigners are encouraging some people that the steadfastness of any Arab country, regime or ruler, or even of any mujahid who stands against his greed, is a stand that would lead to weakening the others, rather than strengthening and encouraging them to face the enemy. :: 020422.

  The good which benefits Iraq, for instance, should, since we are one nation, benefit all the sons of our Arab Nation in one way or another: Iraqis, Egyptians, Syrians, Yemenis, people in the Arab Gulf and Maghrib (Northwest Africa), otherwise, the concept of one nation remains inadequate, unable to cherish the principles of the fateful Arab solidarity among the sons of the Nation to stand in one rank in word, in deed and in trend.

  The greedy foreign enemies would resort to enhance and create fear to trouble and make conspiracies by frightening the ruler from his own people and from any way they have chosen which he cannot decide to accept. :: 020422.

  The Iranian officials pushed their peoples and kindled in them all elements of repression and energy which had not been rightly employed with the Arabs in general.

  The Iranians concerned had given an opportunity to all these notions and the situation to incessantly perpetuate the history of Khosraus in Iran without taking into consideration the history of the Islamic State.

  The Jewish Albright, the former US Secretary of State , spoke in this way , or in a similar case , when she said that the objectives of the US foreign policy , justify the death of Iraqi children . :: 011018.

  The most important factor of Iran's weakness in that confrontation was that force, and the illusion of force prevailed in the minds of those who believed in it.

  The new Iranian officials concerned have triggered or released that energy into the wrong, destructive direction, now being deprived of its humane and spiritual principles in the simplest terms of description, albeit it had merely assumed a formal, flimsy and verbal cover from the spiritual standpoint, as we have said.

  The principles and the promise they include, as goals of the struggle of the people and Nation, the power of the state and all its aspects, the mobilization of the people for positions of struggle and jihad against the foreign ambitions during a particular stage before the assuming power, and holding up to its all goals, is a trust which should be bore and protected.

  The second example is that Iraq had deposited civil and war planes in Iran, some of them prior to the encounter with the thirty states in Umm al-Ma'arik (The Mother of All Battles), others during the battle, for we misconceived that the Iranians concerned might share a common property with humanity and wend the way of the good on the account that Iran is no longer an enemy of Iraq.

  The second time was in the second Qadissiya. So, we shared with Iran two victories, over ourselves and our common enemy: viz., the two victories at the two battles of Qadissiya.

  The Shah of Iran Mohammed Riza Pehlevi did that in the past, and so did his father and others before him.

  The suffering of the people is not caused by the incidence alone, but by the failure of the authorities concerned which have been preoccupied by hatching conspiracies abroad, assassination and sabotage operations against world states and freedom-loving people.

  The victory, its preludes and the concomitant delivery in addition to what we have stated help us understand why embargo on Iraq has lasted for more than nine years now; why the states bordering Iraq, including Iran, have performed the task of field embargo in such a manner as to covetously encourage and support the aggressive Americans and Zionists to continue committing genocide against the Iraqi people by hook or by crook, and why the Iranian peoples have been refrained from visiting the holy shrines albeit they were incited for intrusion into Iraq by force.

  The world, therefore, was either provided with oil needs from the capitalist states and enjoyed some facilities under (foreign aids) or furnished with similar facilities within the socialist camp or whichever politically affiliated to it under the placard of COMECON, which is an economic group comprising the relevant members.

  There is no way out of any plight or impasse created by the greedy imperialist foreigner or the foreign occupier and usurper, through building on a low land since the flood will sweep it off and render it a mere scum. :: 980717

  They publicized that they were worthy of a better treatment, frequently evaluating and deeming their worthiness on the basis of Iran in the past under the leadership of Persians and Khosraus who had occupied parts of the neighbouring countries, be they to the east or the west, and not on the basis of their fusion in the new state under the banner of its faith and principles, and under its leadership in pursuance of the explicit Islamic principle in governance and administration, i.e., "And obey God, and obey the messenger and those charged with authority among you.

  This situation had found its other level in Iran in the light of abolishing the fundamental periods in the history of the Islamic State as well as the greatest part of its representative symbols.

  This tragic situation is in need of a serious consultation among the oil states whenever the will and intention exist, albeit it may start on a small scale and not for all OPEC states which have been penetrated by the foreigners' tricks, because this very small scale may be always appropriate for such a consultation to rescue those who evince the will of rejection of such a situation from being victims to the foreigners' cutting fangs, if not possible to save the others whose strength and will have dwindled under the weight of their inadvertence or slumber, their hatred and rancour.

  This victory, apart from being a victory for Iraq and the Nation, on the basis of these conceptions, is also a victory for those who believe in these conceptions in Iran.

  Those forces have realized also that the sincere loyalty to the Nation, people and principles, and the faithfulness to them and to the responsibility for what the guardians are entrusted with, is a case from which there is no retreat neither by the temptation provided by the power nor by the threats posed by foreigners.

  To remove the veil which has blinkered their eyes we would like to say to them that our noble and responsible call was never mentioned so successively and clearly in the years 1991, 1992, 1993, 1994 and 1995 as the Leadership did not want to announce it then lest it should confuse some officials, Arab or foreign, as to its causes and effects. :: 980117

  Trade unions and federations used to do something of that, but now they have become used to weighting their words and sentences by the balance of their ministries of foreign affairs, or something less than that. :: 020422.

  Unfortunately Iranian rulers, particularly the predecessors, and the like up to now, have not occupied themselves with construction nor have they cultivated love and good.

  Victory has salvaged the Iranian peoples from all that and rescued the peoples of the world from the domination of Western materialism whose view and way of life would have had the upper hand at the expense of balanced, spiritual principles and the right moral and living aspects for a long time to come.

  We can do this through a stand of honour, achieved in any form that raises it above the state of deterioration and impotency through which our nation passes now, and above the state of only watching our struggling heroic Palestinian people while they face murder and destruction daily. :: 011215.

  We celebrate this day every year, not only for our sake or for the sake of our coming generations, at present or in the future, but also for the sake of other generations, including Iran's, because that day has opened, for everyone with insight, a window on life and on goodwill values.

  We comprehend now why and how the happenings took place in the two Islamic states concerning their proclamations or beliefs and between two subjects described as Islamic states, namely, Iraq and Iran.

  We implore the All-Mighty and All-Powerful to help Iran to live up to it.

  We would assist others to be guided for what is good as part of our patriotic and national responsibility based on faith, indeed our responsibility and humane relationship whether with Iran or with other nations, out of our constant desire and determination for assistance and initiation so as to build bridges of love and peace, whenever possible or whenever there is a balanced and appropriate opportunity.

  We would like to say to the whole world including the Iranian peoples that the victory won by the Iraqis is a great humane victory because it is a victory of progress over backwardness, of faith and truth over falsification and of construction over destruction.

  What we have stated expounds why Iranian students are not taught the history of the Islamic State.

  When the foreigner tries to incite contention among us, we must tell him that the force and capabilities of any of our countries is the force and capabilities of us all, just as any weakness weakens us all. :: 020422.

  When the Iraqis were freed from the weakness which afflicted some segments of the Nation, Faw was liberated, as was every part of Iraq usurped by the Iranians and on which calculations of their known illusion were built.

  When the Mongols and Tatars reached the zenith of their strength and occupied China, India, Persia and other countries, they were unable to convert their ascent to strength by backwardness and destruction into a force capable of bringing construction, civilization and culture.

  Whereas the officials in Iran, until the last days or last months prior to the victory on the day of all days, were of the opinion that their objectives would be materialized in war and aggression.

  Why do even the religious schools there not teach the history of the Islamic State and its jurisprudence at the time Iran was part of it? By corollary, how and why did Iran launch aggression against Iraq? The war subsequently broke out and lasted for eight years.

  Yet, some people, on that day, did not properly realize this truth, neither in Iran nor in the world.

  Zionism and USA would have won through people's recourse to their protection, clutching at a false hope for peace and stability, which they can provide to peoples in the face of the ghoul of backwardness and destruction beside the war drums of sectarianism.
