POPSKhamenei Warns Protesters to Stay Off Streets "Arm wrestling in the street must stop," he said. "I want everyone to put an end to this. If they don't stop this … they will be held accountable for all of this." "This is not a competition between outside and inside the establishment as Zionists, media in the UK, in the US, have been trying to say," he said. In an apparent attempt to acknowledge the concerns of Mousavi's supporters he admitted that Iran was not "without corruption," and said it needed to be tackled. He also acknowledged differences between Ahmadinejad and the former president Ali Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani, who has supported Mousavi and been portrayed as a potential kingmaker, but at the same time played down the differences. Ali Larijani, the parliament speaker, Mahmoud Shahroudi, the judiciary speaker, and the mayor of Tehran, Mohammad Baqer Qalibaf were present at the university, as were senior military officers from the revolutionary guards.

POPS Insurrection; Day Two Defrauded opposition candidate Mir Hussein Mousavi belongs to the establishment. The regime is coming apart and turning on itself. Even clerics are turning against the “Supreme Guide” Ali Khamenei. Grand Ayatollah Sanei in Iran has declared Ahmadinejad's presidency illegitimate and cooperating with his government against Islam. There are strong rumors that his house and office are surrounded by the police and his website is filtered. He had previously issued a fatwa, against rigging of the elections in any form or shape, calling it a mortal sin. Kevin Sullivan at RealClearWorld: What's emerging here could be interesting. Iran hawks prefer to label the Iranian police state as simply "The Mullahs," but the legitimate clerics in this dispute are the ones standing with Mir-Hossein Mousavi against ONE Mullah and his secular police apparatus. . . .
