Despite the Interior Ministry insisting that incumbent Mahmoud Ahmadinejad won by a wide margin, former Prime Minister of Iran Mir-Hossein Mousavi continues to insist that he was the real winner of the election.
In a written statement released through his website, Mousavi called the entire election a “sleight of hand” and promised to unveil the secrets that led to his defeat. He has promised he won’t surrender to what he called a fraudulent result that amounted to treason.
Thousands of Mousavi’s supporters have as a result taken to the streets, and are clashing with police in the capital city of Tehran. The supporters demanded to know if Ahmadinejad was able to win by such a wide margin why his followers weren’t out celebrating. Indeed there were some reports of Ahmadinejad’s followers celebrating overnight, but the violence and massive police presence this afternoon has apparently led them to stay in their homes.
Interior Minister Sadeq Mahsouli has denied that any voter fraud has occurred, and insists that he hasn’t received a single written complaint in this regard. Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei praised the result, and urged the nation to support Ahmadinejad as its president.
Drinking the "reformist" Kool Ade it seems. The so-called polls (all from the "west") cannot be trusted. Ahmadinejad has broad support of the poor, and broad support nationally in standing up to the would-be occupiers – USA.
So far this is following the post-election NED/CIA the script used in the Ukraine "orange revolution". But it won't work here. Ahmadinejad won – just as MOST of us thought he WOULD.
Please don't allow yourselves to be PLAYED. Don't allow yourselves to be "useful idiots" of the western propaganda machine!
Anyone who has been following Iran for the past decade could have EASILY predicted an Ahmadinejad land slide.
These events are CLEARLY the work of western agencies in collusion with Mousavi and his cadre of stooges seeking to discredit Ahmadinejad. One can only guess for what pro-Israel/pro-US objectives this smear campaign will be put to use.
What US actions will be "justified" now?
Today, sadly, you are being taken for a ride – not just by the usual dopes of the MSM, but by so-called progressive sources as well – who should, by now!, know better.
