“Supreme leader: Iran vote was ‘definitive victory,'” from The Associated Press, June 19 (thanks to Abscedere):
TEHRAN, Iran (AP) “” Iran’s supreme leader said Friday that there was “definitive victory” and no rigging in disputed presidential elections, offering no concession to protesters demanding the vote be canceled and held again.

He said protesters would be “held responsible for chaos if they didn’t end” days of massive demonstrations. The unrest has posed the greatest challenge to the system since the 1979 Islamic Revolution that brought it to power.
Khamenei said official results showing a landslide for hard-line President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad were beyond question.
