World: Strangely enough, Mousavi also sez he won Iran’s election

  • What the heck is going on, guys? Iran’s election results are nothing if a little confusing. Despite there being a massive turnout which suggested Mir Hossein Mousavi handily won, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad apparently got most of the votes. Unless he didn’t. Mousavi claims there were major irregularities and that he’s “definitely the winner” based on “all indications from all over Iran.” Hm. Hmmmmmmmmmm. Well. That’s something. source

World: Iran’s presidential election is today, and the polls are packed

  • I am hearing about a vast participation of people, and I hear there are even gatherings at night. This shows the people’s awareness.
  • Iran’s supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei • Speaking about the huge response the presidential election in Iran has had. Millions are at the polls today, responding to the hard-line politics of Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, which many claim have affected the country’s stability. Mir Hussein Moussavi, an opposition candidate, is the likely victor. By the way, the president of Iran has less power than Khamenei, but they do have plenty of say over domestic matters. • source
