In the name of God the merciful and compassionate
Thanks to God, for he promised and delivered, threatened and
forgave prayers and peace be upon our master and master of all
nobles Muhammad, his family, and his followers the perfect
nobles.
Honorable brother Karim, may God protect him. Peace and mercy of
God may be upon you. Hope you and all who are with you are in a
good cheer, and for God to bring us all together to achieve his
will on earth and to win the afterlife.
1- I received your honorable message that was ended abruptly
without an ending, signature, and date. I wonder what the cause
was for this error; but thank God for including the good news
and glad tidings. I ask God to grant us speedy victory and
empowerment.
2- I have a few remarks concerning the matter of your threats to
Iran, and I hope that you and your brothers will accommodate it:
A- You did not consult with us on that serious issue that
affects the general welfare of all of us. We expected you would
consult with us for these important matters, for as you are
aware, Iran is our main artery for funds, personnel, and
communication, as well as the matter of hostages.
B- I don’t understand why you have announced your threats. You
could have executed without being threatening; for threats are a
tough test for your ability to deliver. And now, the passing of
the grace period without carrying out your threats effects the
believability of your words, and your threats will be
meaningless. I am not trying to provoke you to carry out your
threats. On the contrary, I am against being threatening,
period. However, I am discussing the matter of “threat
announcing” for it is politically a losing proposition for you.
G- Another matter that I need you to discuss with your brothers,
which is the information received indicating that some of the
individuals that you are depending on to carry out the threats
are not organized or infiltrated. So please re-evaluate the
matter.

 D- The summary of my opinion on the subject is:
1- There is no need to fight with Iran, unless you are forced to

(Page 2)
because of the great harm caused by them, and unless you are
able to inflect them with harm. Hence, if you are not in the
position to deliver either, then my advice is to refrain from
attacking them; and devote your total resource to the
fortification of the nation, and the fight against the crusaders
and the apostates. It is also my opinion about the other fronts
such as Lebanon and the likes.
2- If you decide on confronting Iran and feel you are able to
hurt them, it is my opinion that you do not announce your
intentions and threats, instead deliver your strikes in silence,
leaving indications or announce that you are responsible for the
act, and to protect your reputation in case your plans were not
successful. Bear in mind that the negotiation with Iran is
easier if the incurred damages are great. This is my opinion and
God knows the correct course of action.
3- Another issue that is closely related to the previous one’ is
the taking of Iranian hostages for negotiation. I suggest
starting the negation on exchanging the person that I have asked
to receive the file on his statements, which I have not received
yet, or any other person, for our captives, specifically the
ones sentenced to death or to a long term incarceration in their
countries.
4- Regarding the issue of not attacking the dissenter by her
name; the issue is under discussion among the brethren and I,
and my position is the collective decision for the group and not
just my own. We associated the matter with receiving hostages
from them for it will give us great latitude in confronting
them. In general the discussion is still progressively ongoing.
The other issue is the attack on my brothers with Abu al((Yazid)), and with you. These statements represent and bind us.
Hence I was not tasked with it, but it is the opinion of the
brothers that I handle the matter indirectly observing the

 developments. That was the collective opinion of your brothers,
and God knows what’s right.
5- Regarding Turkey; it is my opinion that our work in Turkey
not be tied to the reactions to our works, but is based on the
situations advantages and disadvantages, hence I suggest the
suppression of activities unless there is a chance for a large
operation against the Jews or the Crusaders, and only after your
determination of the advantages and disadvantages. And perhaps
the deterioration between them and Kurdistan is beneficial to
you, God knows.
6- Regarding sending you brothers; the problem is the road.
7- Hajji Harun said he has reached an agreement with you to work
in your two countries. Please provide me with the details of the
agreement, for I need to understand it, and God bless you.
8- Lastly, I leave you in the custody of God. Destroy this
message after reading, peace, your loving brother.
