like a spider's web, the palaces and military and political powers of world arrogance are fragile and are falling apart.

The Muslims of the world must direct their thoughts to educating and controlling those heads of state who have sold their souls to the devil and to making them reform themselves. They must awaken them, through either advice or threats, from the deep slumber which is destroying both themselves and the resources of the Islamic nations. They must warn these agents and servants. Indeed they themselves must also be alert to the danger posed by the hypocrites and the middlemen of world arrogance; they must be perspicacious and must not be heedless of this danger. They must not sit idly by, spectators to scenes of Islam's destruction and the plunder of the wealth, resources and dignity of the Muslims.

The Muslim nations must direct their thoughts to freeing Palestine and show the world the extent of their repugnance for the conciliatory and compromissorial policies adopted by the shameless, venal leaders who, using the name of Palestine, have dashed the hopes of the people in the occupied lands and the Muslims of this region.

Not only that but the very fact that a day should be called 'Quds Day' strikes fear into their hearts. Perhaps they think that the passing of time has changed the nature and form of Israel's and Zionism's crimes and the blood-drinking wolves of Zionism have stopped thinking about making inroads into and usurping the lands from the Nile to the Euphrates. The respected authorities of Iran, our people and the Islamic nations will not give up their struggle to deracinate this evil tree.

The dispersed groups of Islam's followers, the spiritual power of the nation of Muhammad - peace and blessings be upon him and his descendants - and the means which the Islamic countries have at their disposal must, with the help of Almighty God, be put to use, and, through forming Hizbullāh
