Iran strongly condemns the interference of foreign countries
in its internal affairs after the US and Britain praised the
group of people who held anti-government protests on the
holy day of Ashura.
"Moves made by certain individuals aimed at violating the
law and sanctities and confronting the Iranian nation on an
exceptional day were incorrect and inappropriate. This is
rebellion," Iranian Foreign Ministry Spokesman Ramin Mehman-
Parast told reporters at his weekly press briefing on
Tuesday.
"If countries support this violation of law and encourage
the protestors, this is considered as interference in
internal affairs of countries," he added.
"We seriously condemn such acts and think they run counter
to prevalent principles in countries," said the spokesman.
The Iranian capital on Sunday was the scene of anti-
government protests on the anniversary of the Shia Muslim
Ashura religious event, during which people commemorate the
7th century martyrdom of Prophet Muhammad's (PBUH) grandson,
Imam Hussein (PBUH).
Police used tear gas to disperse the protesters who used the
religious ceremony to chant slogans against the government.
Eight people were killed during the unrest.
Police say the force was not involved in the killings,
adding that the incidents are under investigation.
Washington and London were quick to criticize Tehran for
ordering the security forces to disperse the protesters,
with the White House strongly condemning the "violent and
unjust suppression" of civilians and pronouncing its support
for the riots.
On Monday, British Foreign Secretary David Miliband, in a
statement issued in London, hailed the "great courage" of
those who took part in illegal protests in Tehran, during
which several people were killed and public property was
damaged.
Miliband blamed the Islamic Republic for the deaths, saying
they were "yet another reminder of how the Iranian regime
deals with protest."
Mehman-Parast reacted to remarks by Miliband about the
unrest in Tehran on Sunday.
"The British Ambassador to Tehran (Simon Lawrence Gass) will
be summoned to the Foreign Ministry on Tuesday to give
explanation about events on Ashura day," Mehman-Parast said.
Mehman-Parast reiterated that certain Western countries "are
making mistaken calculations."
"They mistakenly make comparison between moves made by only
few thousands of people with tens of million of Iranians,"
he concluded.

But all things that are reproved are made manifest by the light:
for whatsoever doth make manifest is light. The light shineth in darkness;
and the darkness comprehended it not. The light of the body is the eye:
if therefore thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be full of light.
But if thine eye be evil, thy whole body shall be full of darkness.
If therefore the light that is in thee be darkness, how great is that darkness!
Awake thou that sleepest, and arise from the dead,
and Christ shall give thee light. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.

Iranian presidential election was stolen so America would have a madman as
president and it would be easier to paint him as a madman. Wake up My Name!
America has been influencing Iranian politics since the 1953 coup. DEATH TO
THE DICTATORS

While the recent Iranian election was almost certainly fixed, and dissenters
have been murdered, it is exremely unlikely that this was done by the USA.
Wake up, Seon.
Still, the OP has nothing to say about the taint of his or her sources, and
doesn't appear to even want to acknowledge that the press releases he or she
regurgitates are simply propaganda pieces, or that there is brutal
suppression of dissent, speech and action in that country.

What would have happened if Muhamud imanutjob lost? It would have been
harder to sell invading Iran to the masses. But what's the point you only
believe in what your told.

Sure there's no evidence but it's still something I suspect. Now it's easy
to sell the case for invading Iran. But yeah I have known Iran is a fascist
theocracy for years. Ever since I got involved with the Bahais I realised
how much it oppresses religious minorities.

you're?
I don't believe that an invasion of Iran is on the cards. I never have. You
have failed to convince me. I think it's a fantasy.
