Iran's Supreme Leader has issued a stern warning that protests against the country's disputed presidential election results must end.
In his first public remarks after days of demonstrations, Ayatollah Khamenei said the outcome must be decided at the ballot box, not on the street. He said political leaders would be blamed for any violence. Demonstrators calling for a new election earlier vowed to stage fresh protests on Saturday. Addressing thousands of people at Tehran University, the ayatollah voiced support for President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, saying the president's views on foreign affairs and social issues were close to his. Responding to allegations of electoral fraud, the ayatollah insisted the Islamic Republic would not cheat.
He has labelled the United States, United Kingdom and Israel as the enemies and has labelled the United Kingdoms' government as "most treacherous." - I have to say, at least we agree on one thing.
This follows recent protests in the Islamic Republic after the ruling President who is a arab conservative 'won' the election, beating the reformer. It is very interesting, when the revolution occurred it was students who threw out the Shah of Iran, the monarchy which was 2,500 years old. The young in Iran have a lot of influence.
