Tehran Losing Iranians’ Trust, Ex-Leader Says
As thousands of protesters chanted Friday in the streets outside, a
former Iranian president, Ali Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani, assailed the
government’s handling of the post-election unrest, saying it had
lost the trust of many Iranians, and called for the release of
hundreds of those arrested in recent weeks. In the audience were
several prominent reformists, chief among them Mir Hussein Moussavi.
Mr. Rafsanjani, speaking to a vast crowd at Tehran University’s
prayer hall, advanced the cause of Iran’s beleaguered opposition,
saying doubts about the disputed June 12 election “are now consuming
us” and calling for a new spirit of compromise from the government.
“A large group” of Iranians, he said, have doubts about the
election. “We should work to address these doubts,” he said.
Mr. Rafsanjani did not directly question Mr. Ahmadinejad’s landslide
victory, which has been sanctioned by Iran’s supreme leader,
Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.
But he made clear that he believed that Ayatollah Khamenei, who has
blamed foreign powers for the unrest and has called for an end to
protests, should take a more conciliatory stance.
Calling the election aftermath a “crisis,” Mr. Rafsanjani urged that
restrictions on the press and on free speech be removed, in addition
to seeking freedom for those detained since the election.
Mr. Rafsanjani also criticized the Guardian Council, a powerful
supervisory body that looked into possible election fraud, saying it
“did not use wisely the time the supreme leader gave it to
investigate.”
He said he had discussed a possible solution with members of the
Expediency Council and the Assembly of Experts, two powerful state
institutions he leads. He said his proposal was based on two
principles: that everything must be done within a legal framework;
and that there must be a free and open debate.
While the details were unclear, Mr. Rafsanjani’s proposal was an
implicit rebuke to Ayatollah Khamenei, who tried to close the door
on the post-election turmoil in his own Friday Prayer speech in the
same hall four weeks ago. Ayatollah Khamenei has long presented
himself as a neutral arbiter of Iran’s political disputes, but many
Iranians say his embrace of Mr. Ahmadinejad and his stern dismissal
of the protests has made the supreme leader seem a more partisan
figure.
In that sense, Mr. Rafsanjani, a consummate pragmatist, appeared to
be reclaiming a central role in Iran’s divided power structure.
His speech is bound to anger some of Iran’s hard-line political
figures, who had said they wanted him to come out strongly against
the protesters. Just before Mr. Rafsanjani spoke, a government
cleric cautioned him not to say anything that went beyond “the
framework of what the leader has defined” for the speech.
Apart from Mr. Moussavi, a reformist former president, Mohammad
Khatami, also attended, as did the other failed presidential
candidates, Mehdi Karroubi and Mohsen Rezai.
Most of those who attended the speech appeared to be supporters of
the opposition, witnesses said, with an unusual proportion of women
and many people wearing wristbands or other accessories in bright
green — the color of the Moussavi campaign.
As the speech ended and traditional calls to chant “Death to
America” came over the loudspeaker, many in the crowd instead
chanted “Death to Russia.” Many opposition supporters are angry
about Russia’s quick acceptance of Mr. Ahmadinejad’s election
victory.
Mr. Ahmadinejad did not attend the speech. He announced several
changes to his new cabinet, including the promotion of members of
his inner circle, that have led some to conclude the president is
not heeding any call to compromise.
Some observers hailed Mr. Rafsanjani’s speech as a typically shrewd
gesture, in which he undermined his political rivals while rooting
his comments in the principles of the Islamic republic.
“Everything in our Islamic republic is based on votes,” Mr.
Rafsanjani said, in comments that were read by some as a quiet
condemnation of the election results. “Without the people’s vote,
things cannot go on.”
In 'unity' sermon, Rafsanjani regrets 'crisis' handling
As Iran tries to cope with the aftermath of its disputed
presidential election, influential cleric and politician Ayatollah
Akbar Hashemi-Rafsanjani puts forward proposals to end the post-vote
"crisis."
Ayatollah Rafsanjani, who was leading the Friday prayers at Tehran
University for the first time since election, told hundreds of
thousands of people that ambiguities surrounding the June 12
presidential vote had broken the trust of Iranians in the
establishment.
"Our key issue is to regain the trust which the people had and now
to some extent is shattered," Rafsanjani said.
The official results of the vote, which saw millions casting their
ballots after weeks of intense campaigning by four approved
candidates, have been rejected by two of the hopefuls, Mir-Hossein
Mousavi and Mehdi Karroubi, and their supporters as fraudulent.
Rafsanjani, a two-time former president who heads both the top
political arbitration body and the clerical body, criticized the
government for its handling of the controversy over the election.
He suggested that failing to listen to the voice of those who are
dissatisfied with the election's results had disrupted the national
unity.
"Doubt has been created," he said. "There are two currents; one has
no doubt and is moving ahead. And the other is a large portion of
the wise people who say they have doubts. We need to take action to
remove this doubt."
While pointing out that rebuilding the trust is not a
straightforward task and cannot be achieved overnight, Rafsanjani
suggested that the release of people who protested against the
result of the vote could be the first step in restoring people's
trust in the establishment.
"It is not necessary that in this situation people be jailed. Let
them join their families."
Mousavi, who has emerged as the leader of the opposition, suffered a
crushing defeat to the incumbent President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad who
was declared the victor with almost two-thirds of the votes.
Days of illegal -- and deadly at times -- street protests erupted as
Mousavi and Karroubi demanded a re-run of the vote.
Ahmadinejad, who has hailed the June 12 poll as the "freest and
healthiest" election in the world, has called on the opposition to
drop its pre-vote mentality and work with his government to build
the future of the country.
Iran's electoral watchdog, the Guardian Council, has also confirmed
the vote results.
Rafsanjani, meanwhile, urged everyone to follow the rule of law when
dealing with the post-election events or expressing opposition to
the vote's results, the Iranian Labor News Agency (ILNA) reported.
"The Islamic Republic is not a ceremonial term," he said. "Should
one of the two be tarnished, we will no longer have the Revolution."
Recalling the perspectives of the late Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini,
the founder of the Revolution, on democracy, Rafsanjani urged the
authorities to cherish the "the people's vote and opinion" as the
most important aspect of the establishment.
He then criticized the pre- and post-election conduct of the Islamic
Republic of Iran Broadcasting (IRIB) and asked the state TV to take
measures and pave the way for the process of trust building.
The powerful cleric also advocated for the freedom of the press
within legal boundaries.
"We should let our media write within the framework of the law and
we should not impose restrictions on them," he said. "We should let
our media even criticize us. Our security forces, our police and
other organs have to guarantee such a climate for criticism."
He concluded the sermon by urging respect and sympathy for the
opponents of the government and the families of those killed in the
post-election violence.
In
Tehran, protests follow Friday prayers
After a top Iranian cleric and official has criticized the
authorities for their handling of the country's disputed
presidential election, defiant opposition supporters take to streets
of Tehran.
Clashes erupted outside the Tehran University campus on Friday after
Ayatollah Akbar Hashemi-Rafsanjani led the weekly prayers there.
Ayatollah Rafsanjani is a former president and an influential cleric
who heads two powerful state institutions, the Expediency Council
and the Assembly of Experts.
Rafsanjani criticized the Guardian Council, the electoral watchdog,
for failing to allay doubts about the outcome of the presidential
election, which according to him, did not benefit anyone in Iran.
He also called for the release of those detained in the course of
post-election events.
Following the prayers, thousands of supporters of opposition leader
Mir-Hossein Mousavi, who was defeated by the incumbent President
Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, demonstrated at various locations around the
Tehran University campus.
Riot police used tear gas to disperse the crowd, who spontaneously
staged the demonstration in defiance of a ban on such gatherings.
During the Friday prayers, Ayatollah Rafsanjani said he hoped his
remarks -- in which he offered suggestions for the authorities to
end the post-election "crisis" -- would mark a new period for the
Iranian nation to work toward "unity."
Secret US-Israeli meeting to focus on Iran
Amid reports that Israel is preparing to bomb Iranian nuclear sites,
political heavyweights in Washington and Tel Aviv make plans for a
secret get-together.
Ria Novosti reported on Friday that US Defense Secretary Robert
Gates is planning to visit Tel Aviv within the next two weeks to
discuss a whole range of international issues, including Tehran's
nuclear case, in secret meetings with the Netanyahu government.
US Middle East envoy, George Mitchell, will reportedly accompany
Gates.
The secret meetings come at a time when two Israeli warships, the
Hanit and the Eliat, sailed through the Suez Canal within
cruise-missile range of Iran earlier in the week.
A senior Israeli defense official, in a Thursday interview with the
Times, said the move should be seen as serious preparations for a
long-expected Israeli attack on Iranian nuclear sites.
"This is preparation that should be taken seriously. Israel is
investing time in preparing itself for the complexity of an attack
on Iran," said the Israeli defense official, who was speaking on
condition of anonymity.
"These maneuvers are a message to Iran that Israel will follow up on
its threats," he added.
The move came ten days after a submarine -- believed to be
nuclear-armed -- made a similar crossing and headed from the
Mediterranean to the Red Sea.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has brought Israel closer
to war with Iran, ever-since he made his politiical comeback in
February.
Tel Aviv, the possessor of the sole nuclear arsenal in the Middle
East, accuses Iran of secretly enriching weapons-grade uranium to
attack Israel. Tehran has asserted that its uranium enrichment is a
peaceful drive to produce electricity.
Washington has so far remained undecided in its response to
speculations that Israel is gearing up for go-it-alone air strikes
on Iranian nuclear facilities.
Vice President Joe Biden, in a recent interview, openly suggested
that Washington would not stand in the way of an Israeli attack on
Iran.
"Israel can determine for itself... what's in their interest and
what they decide to do relative to Iran and anyone else," Biden
said. "We cannot dictate to another sovereign nation what they can
and cannot do when they make a determination -- if they make a
determination -- that they're existentially threatened."
The remarks were widely interpreted as a long-sought green light for
Israel to go ahead and take out Iran's nuclear infrastructure.
US President Barack Obama was quick to make an attempt to correct
the impression, saying that he opposed military action against Iran
and instead wanted a diplomatic solution to the nuclear standoff.
