| Iran intel chief warns of extent of opposition |
| 2009-12-10 |
| Iran's top intelligence official has denounced senior figures in the clerical leadership who he says support the country's opposition. The comments by Intelligence Minister Heidar Moslehi signal growing pressure by hard-liners in the government to pursue higher-ranking figures in the opposition. So far the government has been hesitant to do so because of the possible backlash. In a report Thursday, the state news agency IRNA says that Moslehi told a gathering of clerical supporters that the sons of some major clerics and senior figures are involved in opposition protests and have influenced their parents. He said "the enemy is using these sons to bring their ideas to the elite." Ooh, sounds like a purge is in the works. Clean and lube those Walther .25 ACPs. They could be getting a workout. |
