Ayatollah Ali Khamenei Speaks
Iranian Supreme Leader calls election valid and tells protesters to stop. Surprising to me throughout this whole election thing in Iran is foreign media attention to its outcome. Iran is an Islamic Republic. It doesn't matter who their president is, their head of state is their Supreme Leader. Republicans like to make big to do about Ahmadinejad but he's really powerless. And so would be anyone else in that office. Now if protesters deny their Supreme Leader and continue their marching then yes it becomes a big deal. We'll have to wait and see on that one.
