User ID: 683708 United States 06/23/2009 02:21 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | [link to www.timesonline.co.uk] Quoting: HA HA 705459Iranian protesters focus rage on British Embassy in Tehran Students are planning a mass demonstration outside the British Embassy in Tehran today, warning that it could trigger a repeat of 1979, when students stormed the US Embassy and held 52 diplomats hostage for 444 days. The Foreign and Commonwealth Office ordered the evacuation of the families of the 22 British diplomats and warned British citizens against any non-essential travel to Iran. As the regime stepped up its efforts to blame the “little Satan” for the turmoil engulfing the Islamic Republic, Iranian MPs urged the foreign ministry to curtail ties with Britain. There was speculation that the British Ambassador would soon be expelled. The growing tensions will not help British government efforts to secure the release of the three remaining hostages held by an Iranian-backed Shia group in Iraq. Related Links * Timeline: how the story unfolded today * Neda is the tragic face of rebellion * Video clip launches the martyr of Iran Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, Iran’s Supreme Leader, launched the rhetorical war against Britain last Friday by labelling it the “most treacherous” of various Western powers that were using the presidential election to destablise the Islamic Republic. On Sunday the regime expelled the BBC correspondent Jon Leyne and claimed that agents of the British secret services had been infiltrating Iran “in droves”. Today’s government-orchestrated demonstration outside the embassy will target the “perverted Government of Britain for its intervention in Iran’s internal affairs, its role in the unrest in Tehran and its support of the riots”. Esmail Tahmouressi, a student leader, warned that the demonstration could be another “November 4” — a reference to the storming of the US embassy in the heady days after the revolution. He said the embassy should be closed because “there cannot be a compromise with the old fox, Britain”. The diplomats are expected to turn up to work but the Foreign Office refused to comment, beyond saying it was monitoring the situation closely. The embassy, the ambassador’s residence and its extensive grounds are ringed by 10ft-high walls. It employs about 100 Iranian citizens and has Iranian guards. It is the target of regular protests. Demonstrators have managed to get inside before — most recently in late December when they took to the streets over the Israeli invasion of Gaza. The diplomats mostly live in another compound in northern Tehran, and their families are expected to fly out soon. Speculation that they could soon be joined by Simon Gass, the ambassador, was fuelled by Hassan Ghashghavi, a spokesman for the foreign ministry, when he said: “I cannot confirm this. Neither can I deny this.” A spokesman for the Iranian parliament’s foreign relations commission said it had asked the Foreign Minister to curtail Iran’s relations with Britain. Elsewhere in Tehran about 1,000 demonstrators tried to mount a vigil, but were dispersed by several hundred police and Basiji — volunteer militiamen — using teargas. Sixty demonstrators were arrested, adding to the 457 detained over the weekend. Amid reports of unhappiness within the police, the elite 150,000-strong Revolutionary Guard — which has yet to be deployed — issued a statement threatening a “decisive and revolutionary” response to further demonstrations. Ayatollah Khamenei installed one of his own men, Mohammad Ali Jafari, as the force’s commander in late 2007, and has purged an older generation reluctant to move against its own people. “It looks like they were planning this all along,” one Iranian analyst said. Even more ominously, the head of the parliament’s judiciary committee raised the possibility of Mir Hossein Mousavi, the man defeated by Mahjmoud Ahmadinejad in the disputed presidential election, being arrested. Mr Mousavi’s call for “illegal protests” were criminal acts and should be confronted, Ali Sharokhi said. “The ground is paved to pursue Mousavi legally.” Tomorrow the Guardian Council, a body of senior clerics, is expected to announce the result of its investigation into charges that the presidential election was rigged, but nobody believes that it will overturn the result. Abbasali Kadkhodai, a spokesman, admitted yesterday that in 50 districts the votes cast in the election exceeded the number of eligible voters. He made clear, however, that Mr Ahmadinejad’s victory would not be affected even if the results in the 50 districts were reversed. They accounted for only 3 million votes, and the official results show that Mr Ahmadinejad won by a margin of 11 million.

Hope they succeed and the next thing they need to do is kick the American's out too because the CIA is helping destabilize that region. "If Tyranny and Oppression come to this land, it will be in the guise of fighting a foreign enemy"- James Madison "Joining the military does not mean that you will be defending the country. The purpose of the U.S. military should be to defend the United States. Period. Yet, one of the greatest myths ever invented is that the current U.S. military somehow defends our freedoms. First of all, our freedoms are not in danger of being taken away by foreign countries; if they are taken away it will be by our own government. It is not a country making war on us that we need to fear, it is our government making war on the Bill of Rights. And second, how is stationing troops in 150 different regions of the world on hundreds of U.S. military bases defending our freedoms? It is not the purpose of the U.S. military to change regimes, secure the borders of other countries, or spread democracy at gunpoint. The Department of Defense should first and foremost be the Department of Homeland Security."--Laurence Vance-- |

All you have to do is look at how the MSM covered this story. It originated from British media stationed in Iran. Then it trickled down into the rest of Western MSM. Look at how hard the press is trying to get Obama to condone the protests and condemn the Iranian government. They are trying to push the U.S. into another war. Look at his responses to the MSM today, he actually looks irritated by their relentless questions. Here is the bottom line. Obama is trying to negotiate with Iran and the Brits don't like it, so they tried to sabotage it. It's not hard to get. |

Obama is trying to negotiate with Iran and the Brits don't like it, so they tried to sabotage it. It's not hard to get. Yes, you are totally correct and hit it right on the head. Is this what Biden was talking about (manifactured event)? Did he know what zionists and UK were up to? Did he know that the press, the propeganda machine and other sources were all ready and waiting for the election in Iran? Was he trying to tell them that they will not be able to shake Obama? He said Obama will be tested and his decision will not be popular. People will not know to start with but he needs you to stay with him. It would become clear later that he made the right decision". Zionists machine and congress who are controlled by TPTB are pressuring Obama to condemn Iran, but he already knows that it was all a set up. He also knows that Iran/Ahmadinejad/Obama/US relationship would be very good for the world in order to bring peace. Something that TPTB do not want. You will not know it yet but Obama is making the correct decisions. Like it or not Zionists are on the run, even if it does not look it. |

It seems there is an attempt by a new wave of hardliners to purge the regime of the old gaurd of revolutionary stallwarts - they are using the protesters and foriegn meddling, as a problem reaction ruse. The old gaurd have been keeping the end times fanatics on a leash - but now they are determined to make thier move and get this party started. |
