A brief analysis of Iran: One week after 2009 presidential election

June 19th, 2009Lord Kavi (Iran)

I believe after Ayatollah Ali Khamenei’s speech today at friday prayer, Iran’s election policy has become determined. Since he is the supreme leader of Islamic Republic of Iran and many who living in Iran believe in him as their guardian, I believe Iranian civil movement which has appeared these days in opposition and riot with Mir-Hossein Mousavi as its leader, will have no result in fact.

In this week I was really engaged with political events in Iran and followed it precisely. Many things have changed in Iran which is not comparable with last week. In government it seems to be a crack or a gap between politicians. This gap has always been existed but in this week it showed itself and made all the people aware of it, which was unprecedented.

Now everyone in Iran knows what is happening between politicians and after thirty years in Islamic Republic (and somehow in Iran’s history), it’s the first time this obscurity in politics is fading away! I regard this and believe Iran won’t be the same; it’s a great jump. I respect this.
