Statement from the Revolutionary Command Council
O great Iraqi people
O masses of our glorious Arab nation
The Zionist aggression against our land and our Arab nation was primarily established to protect
imperialist interests. American imperialism has supported the Zionist entity with weapons, money,
and political support to serve as a guardian for its interests in the region and a tool for aggression against the forces
of the revolution and the struggling Arab forces to liquidate those interests. The revolution in the Iraqi
region has confirmed on all occasions the close link between imperialist interests and the ability of the Zionist
enemy to continue its aggression, and called for the use of all effective Arab weapons
in the struggle against the imperialist-Zionist enemy, foremost among them the weapon of oil, as it is an effective
strategic weapon in paralyzing the capability of the imperialist and Zionist enemy. The decision of the revolution on the immortal
first of June 1972 was a scientific and revolutionary confirmation of this view and a radical and courageous application
of the slogan of using the oil weapon in the national battle. Today, as American-Zionist aggression
escalates against the Arab nation, and based on the commitment of the revolution in the Iraqi region to use
the oil weapon alongside the available military capability against Zionist and imperialist aggression
⟦only⟧
Al-Waqai' al-Iraqiya Issue No. 2283 7/10/1973
American, the Revolutionary Command Council has decided to issue Law No. (70) of 1973 ⟦by⟧ nationalizing
the undivided share of the two American companies, Standard Oil New Jersey (Exxon) and Mobil Oil Corporation,
in Basrah Petroleum Company Limited.
O citizens... O masses of our valiant nation... Today, as the imperialist and Zionist aggression
has reached a dangerous level of escalation, and as our Arab forces are fighting on the Egyptian and Syrian fronts
against the Zionist enemy, the creation of American imperialism and its tool in conspiracy and aggression
against our nation. We call upon all Arab countries, the brave masses of our nation, and the forces of the Arab revolution
everywhere in the homeland to strike American interests and liquidate them finally, and to nationalize
its petroleum interests in particular, as a punishment for those who support the Zionist aggressor in its aggression and as effective
support for the national battle. It also calls upon all Arab countries to stop exporting oil to the United
States of America and to every country that supports the Zionist enemy. We call upon the Arab masses and their
struggling revolutionary forces to firmly confront everyone who provides the American imperialist enemy with the energy
for aggression and the means of life. Forward.
