The Tudeh Party of Iran believes that, under the present conditions, whereby our people are faced with the armed onslaught of the regime and imperialism preparation for armed struggle has become one of the most urgent tasks of all Sanabı the forces opposed to the regime and imperialism. Therefore, feeling the heaviest historical responsibility:

The Central Committee of the Tudeh Party of Iran invites all the leaders of the national liberation movement, particular Ayatollah Khomeini, Ayatollah Talghani Dr. Karim Sanjabi, and all the other leaders of religious and political organisations, who have intimately felt the crimes of the regime in their body and soul to use all their power influence and authority to organise = "United National Liberation Front of Iran"; a Front which would include ail the true national forces opposed to the
