Iran Briefing – Rahim Safavi, Senior Consultant of Iran’s commander in chief (Ali Khamenei), in funeral of unknown killed soldiers in Iran-Iraq war which was held in Shahid Beheshti University, pointing to the upcoming presidential election and some movements by domestic and abroad political groups, by calling them “provocative” told: “We warn domestic and foreign enemies and counterrevolutionary groups that any attempts to incite unrest or create sedition before or after the election will receive a vigilant and decisive response from the Iranian nation, and the Iranian nation would once again achieve victory.”
“Relevant organizations and bodies must predict and [adopt] preventative [measures] against any domestic or foreign [-sponsored] unrest,” he added.
In 2009 post election protests to the fraud of governmental organizations in votes in favor of Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, protesters were suppressed by IRGC forces, Basijis, intelligent agents attacked the protesters, hundreds were killed , thousands were arrested, tortured, raped and most of them were sentenced to long-term imprisonment. It’s more than two years that Mir Hossein Musavi and Mehdi Karrubi are under house-arrest and in the worst situation by Ali Khamenei’s command.
By calling “Provocative”, Rahim Safavi means Reformists and “Perverts” means Pro-Ahmadinejad Activists and Esfandiar Rahim Moshaie, close allegiant of Ahmadinejad. Radical and conservative pro-Khamenei forces do not want these two parties win the election and they are working and planning for a president to be selected who is close to Khamenei and obedient.
