To the free people of the world

We understand your anger at the attackers who are in service of the Islamic Regime of Iran in regard to the attack perpetrated on the Embassy of Great Britain in Tehran. We believe the same as you that these acts of IRI agents are “indefensible transgressions” and that they are “an affront to international dignity.”

We strongly condemn this barbaric and immoral act, which is against normal international conduct as well as being against Iranian culture of hospitality and respect.  We believe that these types of conduct by the leaders of the Islamic Republic of Iran are rooted in provocative actions resulting from realization that they are isolated inside and outside of the country. In order to preserve themselves they have resorted to provocative actions that only help the international war mongers to attack Iran militarily.

The perpetrators of this unfortunate action have irresponsibly endangered the national security of Iran as a country and her people and they think that by repeating the takeover of U S Embassy and taking American diplomats for 444 days immediately after the Iranian revolution, they can strengthen their shaken and illegitimate power base inside the country.

Interestingly when the Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman gleefully talks about “strong reaction of the students” and “an unfortunate event” regarding the attacks against the British Embassy, it gives us a catastrophic message that they are planning a grave war against Iranian people.

Proposals for additional sanctions by the UK were launched about a week before the meeting of the Foreign Ministers of the European Union, and showed the extent and the gravity of the new sanctions to the ruling authorities of IRI. They know that by adopting these sanctions not only normal trade (including purchase of oil from Iran) will stop but also with sanctioning of the Iranian Central Bank all the foreign exchange transactions of Iran will be reduced.

One should ask why IRI knowing about the effects of these policies and given its own dire situation continues with these type of behavior? The prevailing understanding in our society is that the leaders of IRI are knowingly moving toward a confrontation with the West.

By giving the order to take over the British Embassy, the leaders of IRI have decided to proceed toward confrontation, including a military one, with all its devastating consequences.

Unfortunately, international media uses terms such as “Iran” and “students. ”Today in Iran, there is a theocratic ruling class in power, which has nothing to do with Iran and its cultural and historical past. The groups of thugs that attacked the British Embassy are part of the same thugs that have been used many times to attack real student gatherings and other Iranians who have been organizing pro-democracy events.

In order to replace the ruling IRI regime by a secular and democratic government, who will be defender of peace, and strive for good relations with all the governments of the world, the Iranian people have paid dearly.

We ask you to accept our message of peace and friendship, which to the best of our knowledge are desired by the majority of the people of Iran, and relay them to your political leaders as well as to the media. We also request that you should try your best to influence your representatives’ decision process against the IRI ruling authorities, not to go forward with decisions that end up in war and military actions. Any military action, rather than weakening the power of the ruling elite, will cause their reorganization, the same as what happened after the war between Iraq and Iran. War postpones the democratic march of Iranian people toward freedom.

The Iran National Front-Abroad is an organization based on the democratic legacy and principles of the late Dr. Mossadegh, former Prime Minister of Iran and leader of Iran National Front. The Iran National Front-Abroad strives to establish a government of national unity, a government that will respect international laws and treaties as well as promotes peace, and will have good relations with all the governments of the world.

Support the Iranian people’s struggle for establishing a democratic and secular government in Iran.
