The current state of affairs in Iran means that the West intends to have another “color revolution” in Asia at all costs. The practice of such revolutions has proved to be successful in Serbia, Georgia, Ukraine and Kyrgyzstan. The revolution in Moldova has not taken place yet, but it most likely will as a result of the parliamentary elections in the country.
Iranian opposition continues holding mass riots in Iran after the controversial presidential election. Iran ’s supreme legislative instance, the Guardian Council, rejected the possibility to cancel the results of the vote. The council thereby acknowledged that there were no serious violations made in the course of the election.
Iran’s spiritual leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei emphasized the legitimacy of the vote and said that the difference of 11 million votes (Ahmadinejad’s official advantage over Moussavi) was too large to consider it a fabrication. In addition, Khamenei criticized Western leaders who questioned the results of the Iranian election. Khamenei described such remarks as interference into Iran’s internal affairs.
However, the statements from the spiritual leader pushed the Iranian opposition to taking even more actions of protest to attract the attention of the Western community. Many protesters were seen carrying posters with slogans written in English – the language, which the majority of Iranians do not understand.
Iran’s ex-president, Ayatollah Ali Akbar Rafsanjani took opposition’s side after the government ruled to arrest several of his relatives, including his daughter, in the course of the opposition riots on Saturday. The meeting was dispersed when the police used water jets and tear gas and reportedly inflicted fire damage against the protesters. Iranian officials said that there were 13 people killed in the clashes, although unofficial source speak about 150 deaths.
Most likely, the opposition intends to cancel the official results of the vote and to topple Iran’s spiritual leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, who recognized the outcome of the election.
Many Iranian theologians sat that Khamenei’s stance contradicts to the position of the Iranian leader, who is supposed to be above the political struggle.
In the meantime, the West is closely watching the development of the situation in Iran and how the scenario of the new revolution is unfolding. An article that recently appeared on The Financial Times, said that Khamenei accused the governments of foreign nations of their attempts to organize a coup in Iran.
