Key Iranian Leaders Trying To Push Back On Scam Election

The situation in Iran is not going to quiet down for a long time, and even when order is restored, the country will be fundamentally changed. There is heavy dissent coming from power players in the religious and political establishment in Iran. TPM points out that former Iranian President Rafsanjani had resigned from the Expediency Discernment Council and the Assembly of Experts, according to al Aribya and that Iran asked foreign journalists to leave the country.

One of Andrew Sullivan's readers translated a Farsi report that says this:

Grand Ayatollah Sanei in Iran has declared Ahmadinejad's presidency illegitimate and cooperating with his government against Islam. There are strong rumors that his house and office are surrounded by the police and his website is filtered. He had previously issued a fatwa, against rigging of the elections in any form or shape, calling it a mortal sin.

Of course, no event would be complete without hearing from the blame Obama-firsters. This time it's Romney. Everyone else will be blathering out this talking point on Monday.
