Letter to the Iranian Ambassador in Lebanon (2011)

مقدمة / Introduction

To His Excellency the Ambassador of the "Islamic Republic of Iran" in Lebanon, And through him to the esteemed senior rulers in the Republic, Peace, mercy, and blessings of God be upon you, Based on your request to meet with us, the officials of Hizb ut-Tahrir - Wilayah Lebanon, we have decided to present you during our meeting with the following advisory book, in which we briefly clarify our position on your republic, its regime, and its internal and external policies. It should be noted that Hizb ut-Tahrir sent a delegation to Iran in 1979 to congratulate them on the overthrow of the Shah's regime and to submit a memorandum containing our advice. Then another delegation returned in the same year carrying a draft constitution, which it presented to the committees that were working on drafting a constitution for the new state. We know that your current Iranian regime was established after the success of the revolution in overthrowing the tyrannical Shah's regime in 1979, which followed in the footsteps of the traitor Mustafa Kemal, the destroyer of the Caliphate, in Westernizing the Muslim community in Iran and attaching it to the wheel of the infidel Western civilization, which is based on foundations that contradict Islam in its entirety. The Iranian revolution at that time revived hopes among the Islamic nation that, if it were to resolve its affairs, it would be able to regain its usurped authority from the tyrannical rulers who have dominated it with the help of the infidel colonial West, and thus take control of its affairs.
