Furthermore, who has been fighting against aggression in these last three years if not the Iraqi army and people'! If the Iraqi army and people were not satisfied with their regime, they would not have behaved in the way that many of you have witnessed on the battlefields in the three years of war. Even if relations between our regime and our people were not so deep-rooted and excellent, by whom are your rulers authorized to change the political situation in a neighbouring territory whose Constitution provides that "Islam is the State religion" and which, in everyday life. applies the spirit and justice of Islam in all the basic percepts. If the Iraqi people is dissatisifed with its regime, it refuses to be humiliated to the point of being liberated by Iran, because this people has taught many other peoples of the region throughout history to reject injustice and submission and is able at any time to rise up against any regime that it rejects, as it did in the recent past 20 years before the new Iranian leaders came to power. Why then are the Iranian rulers determined to humiliate the Iraqi people and to shed the blood of Iranians'! We leave it to you to answer this question yourselves but we, for our part, are convinced that among the Iranians, there are a growing number of discriminat­ ing people who are perfectly aware of the answer to this question. Furthermore, what is this merchandise that the Iranian leaders wish to export to Iraq and other countries of the region'! Is it not precisely the merchandise which the Iranian leaders are now offer­
analysis: The text appears to be a political statement or a speech, criticizing the actions of the Iranian government towards Iraq. It does not mention specific economic, environmental, or scientific issues, but rather focuses on the political situation and the motivations of the Iranian leaders. The language used is rhetorical and emotive, suggesting that the author is trying to persuade the Iranian people to question their government's actions.
