Cameras of Time and Space
In the name of God
The Honorable Presence of the Supreme Leader, May His Esteem Last Forever
After greetings and respects;
Since ancient times, early humans, while hunting, wished for a tool they could hold in front of their eyes to see distant places, thus doubling their success in hunting.
Today, not only has this wish been fulfilled, but people from the same lineage of those early humans have invented cameras with which they can observe galaxies several light-years away from Earth.
Indeed, the use of spatial cameras has opened beautiful and bright horizons for humanity.
1) The hand of time points to the 3rd of Khordad, 1361 [May 24, 1982].
The efforts of the Iranian people and combatants have borne fruit. The people of Iran are ecstatic beyond measure.
Khorramshahr has been liberated.
An indescribable excitement has taken over the country. Iranians congratulate each other on this great victory.
The leader of the nation, amid the commotion, ascends to the roof of his home in Jamaran and takes the time camera with him. He carefully rotates the camera around and stops at a particular point. The point where the time camera halts is Khordad 1367 [June 1988].
The leader sees through the time camera that after eight years of war, about a million Iranians have been martyred, captured, gone missing, injured, chemically attacked, or amputated.
The people no longer warmly welcome calls for forces to be sent to the war front.
The leader observes that the infrastructure of two important Islamic countries has been destroyed.
Iraq has taken the initiative in the war. The lands like Shalamcheh, Halabja, Khormal, Faw, and other Iraqi territories that we had liberated have been retaken by the Iraqi army.
The leader, with great surprise, sees that after eight years of epic-making, Iraqis are now advancing in Khuzestan without significant resistance from the Iranians, area by area. These are areas where we sacrificed lives inch by inch for their liberation at the beginning of the war. Now even Ahvaz is in danger of falling.
The leader becomes engrossed in the events he sees through the time camera.
Immediately, the leader descends the roof stairs and orders the country’s political authorities to spare no effort in stopping the war.
He orders that, now that by liberating Khorramshahr the Iraqis are inactive, attempt to gain as much as possible, and collect the billions of dollars in damages that the King of Saudi Arabia has agreed to pay, and spend it on the people’s welfare and the reconstruction of the war-torn areas.
2) It is now Khordad 1384 [June 2005].
Ahmadinejad has just become president.
He bravely dismisses the UN sanctions and calls the resolutions trivial, standing against the world alone, and amidst this situation, you, as an insightful leader, with the help of the time camera, see Khordad 1392 [June 2013], where after eight years the country’s economy has collapsed and the market for embezzlement has flourished.
You immediately set the time camera aside, issue an official statement, and call the country’s officials to rationality and the avoidance of creating enemies.
3) It is now Bahman 1389 [February 2011].
Some of the country’s security officials, in private meetings, insist on the previous opinion of imposing restrictions on those they call the leaders of sedition for the return of calm to the country. You postpone the decision to the next day.
After their departure, you immediately take up the time camera and observe that Mir Hossein Mousavi has died in captivity during his old age.
Initially, you order that the news of Mir Hossein’s death should not be published until an appropriate decision is made.
You reject the friends’ opinion to bury Mir Hossein Mousavi’s corpse at night.
It is decided that a brief funeral be held in a completely secured environment, and all the country’s media are instructed not to emphasize the death of Mir Hossein, the funeral, and the public’s turnout.
The estimate of the funeral attendees is around five million people.
Today the ocean of people can no longer be controlled.
And now a week has passed since Mir Hossein’s burial.
Martial law has been declared in Tehran and some other cities of the country.
The statistics of the dead and wounded are horrific.
And you, as an insightful and aware leader, once again set the time camera aside and issue a strict order that for the time being, the issue of house arrest should be removed from the agenda.
Yours sincerely and devotedly,
Mohammad Mahdavifar
