Världen håller andan, holmgång och blodbad i Teheran på lördag?

Allt verkar nu klappat och klart för en gigantisk holmgång mot de iranska demonstranterna på lördag.

Ali Khamenei, stor-ayatollan, det finns ingen större, har gjort det klart att den förskräcklige Ahmadinejad, det är hans kille det och att det inte kommer att bli några eftergifter mot demonstranterna.

Khamanei spelar ett mycket farligt och inte minst dumt spel. Visst, han kan skjuta ihjäl några tusen demonstranter i morgon, men det kommer att ske inför världens och inte minst iraniernas ögon.

Det skulle på sikt bli slutet på honom själv och på hela regimen.

I have been given the ­responsibility of telling the world what is happening in Iran. The office of Mir Hossein Mousavi, who the Iranian people truly want as their leader, has asked me to do so. They have asked me to tell how Mousavi’s headquarters was wrecked by plainclothes police officers. To tell how the commanders of the revolutionary guard ordered him to stay silent. To urge people to take to the streets because Mousavi could not do so directly. The people in the streets don’t want a recount of last week’s vote. They want it annulled. This is a crucial moment in our history. Since the 1979 revolution Iran has had 80% dictatorship and 20% democracy. We have dictatorship because one person is in charge, the supreme leader “ first Khomeini, now Khamenei. He controls the army and the clergy, the justice system and the media, as well as our oil money.

…But Khamenei has thrown this caution to the wind by unabashedly favoring Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. Four years ago, his support was instrumental in getting the little-known Ahmadinejad elected president.

Even as criticism of the president has been on the rise in the country over the past year, Khamenei reportedly promised Ahmadinejad and his cabinet four more years at the helm.
