Riots in Tehran

This election is obviously fraudulent.

All the exit-polling and the pre-election polling showed Mousavi winning the election. If Dinnerjacket had as many supporters as the “official” results suggest then there would be celebrations, not riots.

The official results even show Mahmoud winning Mousavi’s home province and home city by some 57%, which is laughable. Khameini has had a long-standing grudge against Mousavi and would not allow him to win, and the IRG military industrial complex with its fingers in all the economic pie didn’t want their golden boy removed from office so they’re all too happy to polish their jackboots and stamp out any resistance.

Iran has shut down cellphones, text messaging, facebook, etc. whereas just a month before the Revolutionary Guard promised they would not interfere with the elections, yet the night of the elections they were out in force with tear gas and riot gear.
