News Item: Iran’s top electoral body rules out vote annulment

Iran’s top electoral body said Tuesday it found “no major fraud” and will not annul the results of the presidential election, closing the door to a do-over sought by angry opposition supporters alleging systematic vote-rigging.

Iranian government officials have repeatedly suggested that a revote is extremely unlikely. However, Tuesday’s announcement by Iran’s top electoral body, the Guardian Council, was the clearest yet in ruling out a new election.

The announcement on Iran’s state-run English language Press TV is another sign the regime is determined to crush the post-election protests – the strongest challenge to its leadership in 30 years – rather than compromise.

Government warnings to the protesters have intensified.

The Mullash will now telll the world, including Obama to butt out of their affairs. In the meantime, they will crack heads and imprison dissenters.

Perhaps if the Mullahs had waterboarded their protesters, Obama would be more concerned.

Obama’s foreign policy is “WEAK.”
