The terrorists of the Popular Mobilization Forces (Hashd al-Shabi), carrying Iraqi flags, have taken up positions in the streets and squares of Iran. They parade around, sowing fear and threatening massacres, while chanting their propaganda in the face of our people.
What the Ba’athist regime of Saddam Hussein failed to impose on Iran during eight years of war, the criminal Islamic regime is imposing on the Iranian nation today.
This is the ultimate disgrace of an anti-Iranian regime that, in order to survive, has handed the country over to foreign occupiers. This is the trampling of a nation’s pride and a blatant insult to the blood of those who defended the homeland for eight years against Iraq.
Shame on every man in military uniform who stands beside the invading terrorists of Hashd al-Shaabi against the great nation of Iran.
Where is the Iranian Army? Where are the veterans of the eight-year war with Iraq? Where has Iranian military honor gone, that Iraqi terrorists now lord over the lives, property, and honor of Iranians from Khuzestan to Tehran?
The Hashd al-Shaabi and other Iraqi militias are invading and occupying forces. They have no place in Iran. They must be expelled immediately from the pure soil of Iran.
Long live Iran,
Reza Pahlavi
