Open Letter to All Diplomatic Missions in Tehran - July 15, 2003. Honorable Ambassadors: As you are aware, the “Mullahcracy” Regime in Iran is an unelected government and rejected by the majority of the Iranian citizens. In the name of Iran we are asking you to sever political and commercial ties with this government. Your choice to stand with or against the Iranian people will determine our future government’s political and economic relations with your respected governments. The illegitimacy of the cleric rule should be now obvious to diplomatic missions, as the people of Iran are rising to bring about the very first revolution of the twenty-first century. The regime does not represent the Iranian people as you witnessed only less than twelve percent of eligible voters participated in elections last December. We condemn the continued reckless acts of the Russian government in providing nuclear capabilities to the tyrant regime for political and monetary concessions. We applaud the refusal of the Japanese government to sign the contract for oil explorations in the Azadegan oil fields. The “Theocratic” Regime (Islamic Republic of Iran) is an un-Islamic dictatorship that is not even Iranian. The “Mullaharchy” Regime is alien to our nation, our culture and traditions. The I.R.I has the worst human rights violation record and is the main source of support, including money and arms to international terrorism. We are seeking international solidarity to support the freedom movement of our people and stop nuclear proliferation in Iran by means of economic and political sanctions except for food and medicine. Your stance with the people of Iran will ensure future long term friendship between our two nations.
