It’s all a conspiracy, you see. And it’s such a large one that they can’t quite pinpoint who’s behind it. Zionists? Americans? The British? Anything to dodge the truth. “Iran Revolutionary Guard threatens protesters,” by Ali Akbar Dareini and Jim Heintz for the Associated Press, June 22:
TEHRAN, Iran — Iran’s Revolutionary Guard is threatening to crush any further opposition protests over the disputed presidential election and warns demonstrators to prepare for a “revolutionary confrontation” if they take to the streets again.
The country’s most powerful military force ordered demonstrators to “end the sabotage and rioting activities” and said their resistance is a “conspiracy” against Iran.
A statement posted Monday on the Guard’s Web site warned protesters to “be prepared for a resolution and revolutionary confrontation with the Guards, Basij and other security forces and disciplinary forces.”
Opposition leader Mir Hossein Mousavi vowed Sunday night to keep up the protests, charging the June 12 election was a fraud. […]
“The country belongs to you … protesting lies and fraud is your right,” Mousavi, who claims hardline Mahmoud Ahmadinejad won re-election through fraud, said in a statement on his Web site.
