Iranian opposition leader compares Supreme Leader to toppled Shah
|
[ENGLISH.ALARABIYA.NET] Iranian opposition leader Mirhossein Mousavi has compared Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei
...the actual dictator of Iran, successor to Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini...
to the Shah, the monarch deposed in a 1979 revolution, following the government’s crackdown on protests this month.
The unrest began on Nov. 15 after the government of the Islamic Theocratic Republic , one of OPEC’s biggest oil producers, announced gasoline price hikes. But the protests quickly turned political, with demonstrators demanding the removal of top leaders.
Khamenei has described the violence as the work of a "very dangerous conspiracy." The Tehran government has blamed "thugs" linked to its opponents in exile and the country’s main foreign foes.
Iran
 ...a theocratic Shiite state divided among the Medes, the Persians, and the (Arab) Elamites. Formerly a fairly civilized nation ruled by a Shah, it became a victim of Islamic revolution in 1979. The nation is today noted for spontaneously taking over other countries' embassies, maintaining whorehouses run by clergymen, involvement in international drug trafficking, and financing sock puppet militias to extend the regime's influence. The word Iran is a cognate form of Aryan, the abbreviation IRGC is a cognate form of Stürmabteilung (or SA), the term Supreme Guide is a cognate form of either Shah or Führer or maybe both, and they hate Jews Zionists Jews. Their economy is based on the production of oil and vitriol...
has given no official corpse count, but Amnesia Amnesty International has said that at least 161 people have been killed. Tehran has rejected this figure.
Mousavi’s comments about Khamenei, the highest authority in the Islamic Theocratic Republic , were posted in a statement on the opposition Kaleme website. He made a reference to an infamous 1978 massacre which rallied public support and led to the toppling of Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi.
"The killers of the year 1978 were the representatives of a non-religious regime and the agents and shooters of November 2019 are the representatives of a religious government," he said. "Then the commander in chief was the Shah and today, here, the Supreme Leader with absolute authority."
He called on the government to "pay attention to the repercussions of the Jaleh square killings" of 1978.
A front man for the Tehran government could not be reached for comment on the remarks outside office hours.
Mousavi and Mehdi Karroubi ran in a presidential election in June 2009 but lost out to hardliner Mahmoud Short Round Ahmadinejad. The two men became figureheads for Iranians who staged mass protests after the vote, which they said was rigged.
Karroubi, Mousavi and Mousavi’s wife Zahra Rahnavard have been under house arrest in Tehran since 2011 after the opposition leaders called on supporters to rally in solidarity with pro-democracy uprisings in Arab countries.
