Khamenei and his Guardian Council get smacked down: Islamic leaders say election illegitimate
Mullahs in Qum: Khamenei’s actions illegitimate
HOT AIR
If Ali Khamenei and the Guardian Council had hoped to ride out the anger over the rigged presidential election, they didn’t figure on Qum. The association of Islamic leaders in the most important religious city in Iran have declared the election illegitimate, which threatens to undermine the credibility of the Khamenei regime’s claim to divine direction. If the clerics of Iran bolt, what does Khamenei have left?
The most important group of religious leaders in Iran called the disputed presidential election and the new government illegitimate on Saturday, an act of defiance against the country’s supreme leader and the most public sign of a major split in the country’s clerical establishment.
Even if the statement is “symbolic,” it could still spell big trouble for the regime.
