Iranian Elections

Iran's Election spurred demonstrations this week as protesters took to the streets of Tehran to challenge the election outcome reported by the Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei and incumbent President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. Ahmadinejad claimed victory in a landslide election, but challenger Mir Hossein Moussavi called for an investigation into the election.

Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei decided to switch his earlier position and instead called for a 10-day investigation into the election, as protests continued. Learn more by visiting Mainstream-Media.net or our Talking Points blog page.
