World: Results of Iran’s recount: Ahmadinejad actually did BETTER! WTF?

  • Some counties actually added more votes for the disputed leader. The recount, which clearly went in the current president’s favor, actually went better for Mahmoud Ahmadinejad in some counties, according to Iran’s state-run Press TV. The increases weren’t massive – just a handful of votes – but underscored the criticism the election has gotten. The recount didn’t go as far as opposition supporters would’ve wished. Will this be accepted? Probably not. source

U.S., World: The U.S. thinks Iran’s election results are looking all wrong

  • The White House is worried about Iran’s irregularities. Between an official statement by The White House and quotes from Secretary of State Hilary Clinton, we know that the U.S. is not particularly happy with the results of Iran’s election. “We obviously hope that the outcome reflects the genuine will and desire of the Iranian people,” Clinton said. While publicly no White House official has taken sides, they privately hope that Mir Hossein Mousavi is the eventual victor. On two occasions (including a BIG DEAL speech in Egypt) President Obama has made overtures to Iran with no response. source

  • Sure, a photo is one thing, but the nature of the protests in Iran is really best gathered in video form. This looks scary. By the way, the Obama administration is calling BS on the results now, too. source
