 SUPPORTERS of Iran's regime yesterday hijacked the funeral of a nuclear scientist killed in a mysterious bomb attack as it sought to bolster its claim that he was murdered by foreign agents. Hundreds of government loyalists surrounded Masoud Ali-Mohammadi's body as it was carried from his home in northern Tehran.
State-controlled television showed them waving Iranian flags and chanting anti-American and antiIsraeli slogans. Opposition websites reported scuffles between security forces and members of the so-called Green Movement, who also turned up to mourn but were held back. They believe that the regime killed Dr Ali-Mohammadi, on Tuesday because he had switched his allegiance to Mir Hossein Mousavi, the opposition leader. Unconfirmed reports claimed that security forces kept Dr Ali-Mohammadi's family away from the body. The regime has spent the past three days vigorously promoting the story that Dr Ali-Mohammadi, 50, was killed by foreign enemies with the help of Iranian "mercenaries". On Wednesday Ali Larijani, the parliamentary speaker, blamed America and Israel for the attack. "We had clear information that the intelligence apparatus of the Zionist regime and the CIA wanted to implement terrorist acts," he said. However, the regime's narrative is undermined by the lack of any evidence that Dr Ali-Mohammadi was contributing to Iran's nuclear programme, as well as by his declared support for the opposition. Dr Ali-Mohammadi, who taught at Tehran University, specialised in particle physics and was not known to Western officials or agencies which monitor Iran's nuclear programme. He was one of 420 academics who signed a statement of support for Mr Mousavi during the presidential election campaign last June. Two former presidents, the reformist Mohammed Khatami and Hashemi Rafsanjani, have issued statements calling Tuesday's bombing an act of terrorism - but by not blaming Israel or America they gave the clear impression that they were blaming the regime.

 These events have been reported to World Threats. Dec. 16 - Ayatollah Montazeri has said, “at the beginning people demanded a new and just election saying that the presidential election was fraudulent.
But when they were suppressed and harshly confronted they demanded some more and aimed at other organs especially the suppressive organs and their operatives. When innocent people were killed, political activists and freedom lovers were arrested and tried in sham, illegal trials which were against the canon law people demanded still more and thus this fear exists that if the estate continues its current course of action people will desert the system and the current crisis will deepen even more.” Dec. 16 - Reacting to the tearing and trampling of a Picture of the late Ayatollah Khomeini, President (Pasdar) Ahmadinejad said, ” enemy has become desperate and wants to take revenge by offending the sacred issues of Islamic people and system.” He threatened, “the enemy must be afraid of the nation’s wrath. I wish that we were dead and we wouldn’t witness such offense to Imam Khomeini.” Dec. 16 - Ayatollah Rafsanjani’s office has announced, “Ayatollah Rafsanjani’s support for the People’s Mujahadeen of Iran (PMOI) during his struggling time is nothing that you had discovered. This issue has been written in more details in his diaries and has been repeated once and again in his speeches and interviews.”
The government press has been told to refer to Rafsanjani as a Hojatol Islam, a much lower rank than Ayatollah, and has head of the regime’s Expediency Council. He is in fact an Ayatollah and Head of the Assembly of Experts as well as the Expediency Council. World Threats
 TEHRAN: Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani, once widely known as Iran’s number two man, has had his religious and political titles reduced by the Islamic republic’s official news agency after stinging attacks from several high–ranking hardline clerics. Mr Rafsanjani, a former president, powerful cleric and opposition member, has been targeted after he gave a speech in the holy city of Mashhad earlier this month in which he accused Iran’s rulers of being intolerant and had “closed the door on constructive criticism”.
The speech came on the eve of the annual Students Day protests in Tehran and several other cities against the Iranian president, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, who won June’s disputed election. The state-run IRNA news agency issued the directive telling the agency’s editors to refer to Mr Rafsanjani only as chairman of the Expediency Council rather than his more important role of chairman of the Assembly of Experts. The directive also said he must be referred to with the title of hojjatoleslam instead of ayatollah – the title he has commonly been referred to for nearly two decades and one which signifies a much higher religious status. Fararu, a moderate conservative news portal, published on Sunday the undated text of the directive signed by the IRNA’s news editor Abdolreza Davar. The directive said the change was “to maintain consistency in referring to Mr Rafsanjani in news articles”.
The IRNA directive has already been put into action in news articles about Mr Rafsanjani that the agency releases.
Neither Mr Rafsanjani nor his office have yet reacted to the directive.
But the order appears to be the latest in a series of moves by hardliners to sideline the former president who backed the moderate Mir Hossein Mousavi in June’s presidential election over his rival Mr Ahmadinejad. More at the National
 TEHRAN, Iran — Iranian authorities have slowed Internet connections to a crawl or choked them off completely before expected student protests Monday to deny the opposition a vital means of communication. In another familiar tactic before such rallies, authorities have ordered journalists working for foreign media organizations not to leave their offices to cover the demonstrations. Iran's beleaguered opposition has sought to maintain momentum with periodic demonstrations coinciding with state-sanctioned events. Monday's rallies will take place on a day that normally marks a 1953 killing of three students at an anti-U.S. protest. Since the 1990s, the day has served as an occasion for pro-reform protests. Students are at the center of the opposition to Iran's clerical regime and its brutal crackdown on demonstrators protesting what they believed was a fraudulent presidential election in June. The opposition, which relies on the Web and cell phone service to organize rallies and get its message out, has vowed to hold rallies Monday, the first anti-government show of force in a month. It is not clear if the demonstrations will take place on university campuses or in the streets. The call went out on dozens of Web sites run by supporters of opposition leaders Mir Hossein Mousavi and Mahdi Karroubi, both of whom ran in the June 12 election. Most of those sites have been repeatedly blocked by the government, forcing activists to set up new ones. Internet connections in the capital, Tehran, have been slow or completely down since Saturday. Blocking Internet access and cell phone service has been one of the routine methods employed by the authorities to undermine the opposition in recent months. The government has not publicly acknowledged it is behind the outages, but Iran's Internet service providers say the problem is not on their end and is not a technical glitch. A day or two after the demonstrations, cell phone and Internet service is restored. Former President Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani, who has been a powerful voice of dissent from within the ranks of the Islamic leadership, accused Iran's hard-line rulers in comments reported Sunday of silencing any constructive criticism.

 Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani, a former Iranian president and opposition member, has accused the country's rulers of being intolerant, amid restrictions on journalists imposed by the authorities. "The situation in the country is such that constructive criticism is not accepted," Rafsanjani told students in the northern city of Mashhad on Sunday, the ILNA news agency reported. He called on Iran's political groups to work together to "create a climate of freedom which will convince the majority of people and erase ambiguities". Rafsanjani was speaking a day before the annual Student Day, when demonstrations against the rule of Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, the Iranian president, are expected to go ahead. Several websites have urged people to gather on Student Day near Tehran University campus. "Those who demonstrate or protest must express themselves through legal means. Leaders must also respect the law," Rafsanjani said. "There have always been extremist factions and excessive attitudes on both sides ... several problems will be solved if we adopt the path of moderation." Iranian authorities have ordered journalists working for foreign media organisations not to leave their offices to cover the protests that are expected to take place on Monday. "All permits issued for foreign media to cover news in Tehran have been revoked from December 7 to December 9," the culture ministry's foreign press department said in an mobile phone text message sent to journalists on Saturday. Police and Iran's Revolutionary Guards have said that they will move against any "illegal" rally that takes place in Tehran. "Any illegal gathering outside universities will be strongly confronted," Esmail Ahmadi-Moqaddam, a police chief, was quoted by Etemad newspaper as saying. Residents of Tehran said that internet access, including access to email and websites loyal to the political opposition, had been limited in the run-up to Student Day. Hundreds of thousands of people demonstrated in June in the immediate wake of Ahmadinejad's re-election, claiming that the Iranian authorities had rigged the vote. Hundreds of people were detained by authorities and dozens were killed in clashes with police and pro-government militia. Mirhossein Mousavi and Mehdi Karoubi, who were defeated in the presidential election, have not announced whether they will join the planned Student Day protests, as they have done in the past.

 These events have been reported to world Threats. Guidance Patrols have returned to Sharif Industrial University. These patrols consist of groups of three ladies in full black chador. They patrol the campus and warn female students who are not dressed in conformity with what they consider Islamic rules. The female students are forced to sign written promises not to enter the university without conforming to the current rules of Islamic dress. The mother of Neda Agha Soltan has rejected offers of support from the Foundation of Martyrs and demanded that the murderer of her daughter be identified. The Revolutionary Guards Corps is purging the Corps of its older members. The people being retired are mostly those who participated in the Iran-Iraq War. Those who retire will have their wages doubled. Mullah Janati, Secretary of the Guidance Council, has called the current revolution in Iran a “political earthquake”. He said, “as people learn how to pray they must learn political rules too.
They must learn in what status we are and what our duty is. As we know that when it is noon we must pray or where there is an earthquake we must pray. We must know what to do when there is apolitical earthquake. Speaking among the members of the so called Headquarters of the Decade of Dawn. “Supreme Leadership is one of the main pillars of the Islamic System. If the Supreme Leadership is taken away from us nothing is left.
Those who think of striking on the Islamic system, their main goal is to strike on the Supreme Leadership and its weakening. We have had reports from their private meetings that there will be no supreme leadership. They said they will not allow Khamenei to execute its power. Here the issue is weakening the Supreme Leadership. The Ahmadinejad Regime has attacked Rafsanjani for his plan to turn the position of Supreme Leader into a Leadership Council. The Security Commission of the Majlis (Parliament) has discussed has discussed trying Karrobi and Mousavi for the first time. The RGC has established new jamming systems to attempt to jam the Simaye Azadi television network. The Iranian supreme Court has approved the execution of Sohelia Ghadiri. Source: World Threats
 These events have been reported to World Threats. Ali Akbar Hashimi Rafsanjani, the head of the Assembly of Experts and the Expediency Council, revealed that his statements supporting Khamenei were false. The FARS News Agency, which belongs to the RGC, quoted Rafsanjani as saying, “Honorable Ayatollah Khamenei is unique in leadership and the best person for the Supreme Leadership is he”. The Regime has hanged 14 people in the last 14 days. three of them were women. Davood Farbacheh Ardebili is to be hanged for the crime of “fighting against God”. More than 2000 journalists and reporters have been fired since the presidential election. Four hundred others have either left Iran or are attempting to leave Iran.
The organization Reporters Without Borders reports that those in jail are denied legal representation and their lawyers are not allowed to see the evidence against them. Show trials and forced confessions are still proceeding across the country. Some people are being tricked into confessing with the promise of lighter sentences. In the case of Nasser Abdolhosseini, 22, he confessed based upon the promise of a lighter sentence. He was then sentenced to death. Anti-regime graffiti is still appearing all over Iran. Three Special Security officers were killed in Hajiabad township in Hormozgan Province in a clash with demonstrators. Criminal prisoners in Evin Prison are being allowed to attack political prisoners. An imprisoned cleric named Roghani gave the sermon at a prayer service. He called the political prisoners monafeqs (hypocrites) saying that whoever killed them will be rewarded in this life as well as in Heaven. In Islam, a hypocrite is a person who accepts and then rejects Islam. He is more loathed than the unbeliever.

 AntiMullah.com reports that Ayatollah Khamenei has died. It’s long been believed that at 70 years old, he was in constant pain and in very poor health, and was using opium regularly to alleviate his suffering. These are just rumors right now, and cannot be confirmed. Such reports have surfaced in the past. Here’s Anti-Mullah’s blog: Khamenei has died. The formal announcement is expected to be made tomorrow morning (Tehran time) . Relative to this, all regime organizations including the official regime news agency “Seda va Sima” are being draped in black. This comes on the heels of a report from Michael Ledeen, which cites only a single source but he says “is a person in a position to know things.” Here’s what Ledeen’s source said:
Yesterday afternoon at 2.15PM local time, Khamenei collapsed and was taken to his special clinic. Nobody – except his son and the doctors – has since been allowed to get near him. His official, but secret, status is: “in the hands of the gods”. Reportedly this collapse is natural. Many would like him to move to his afterlife but reportedly the collapse was not ‘externally induced’ [no poisioning]. The few insiders who know about the collapse see this development “as a gift from the gods”. His condition had already seriously deteriorated over the last months, aggravated by his nervous condition due to [1] his inability to solve the problems created by his manipulation of the
election results and the refusal of [a large part of] the population to accept this, plus [2] his loss of religious authority by means of the repeated condemnations of events by senior clerics Reportedly the principal aims of Khamenei of the last couple of weeks, if not months, were to ensure [1] a positive reputation as his legacy and [2] the physical survival of his family members and their wealth, reportedly now largely in Syria and in Turkey (remember the truck convoy of $8.5 billion in cash and gold that was seized by the Turks?). Outlook is uncertain but speculation is – considering that he is in coma since more than 24 hours – that he may not come out of his coma and/or that he may die very soon. If he dies it is expected that immediately a bloody clash will develop between the powers behind Rafsanjani, who will immediately claim temporary religious authority and overall control, and the powers behind Achmadinejad who will scramble in order to regain control and ensure their survival.

 These events have been reported to World Threats. Alireza Beheshti, the highest advisor to Mosavi, attacked the commander of the RGC for ordering the sources of canon law to “be quiet”. Mohammad Hashemi Rafsanjani, the brother of Ayatollah Ali Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani, has admitted that the people defy and disgust the clerical regime. He said, people’s defiance of state is one of the most important issues that the political groups are concerned with”. The Khamenei faction is planning to withdraw the immunity of Ali Mohammad Dastqaib, member of the Assembly of Experts from Shiraz, who is anti-Khamenei and probably arrest him. Mullah Yazdi, responsible for Qom’s Assembly of the Lecturers’ society said, “most of the people believe that there has been a plan and a plot to over throw the state in the recent election …. some people think that this is about differences in views between two groups; the problem is not between Ahmadinejad and Mosavi, it is about the state. Some were determined to stand in front of Islam and the Revolution….” (Emphasis mine.) University Students continue their protests. These events have been reported to World Threats. A brief history of the new head of the Basij Mohammad Reza Naghdi. Naghdi began his career in 1980 during the Iran-Iraq war as the representative of Iraq’s High Assembly of Islamic Revolution in Orumeih. During the war he was also sent to Lebanon as part of the same organization. After his work in Lebanon he was invited to join the RGC and work with other Iraqi commanders. He was later the deputy for Intelligence and Operations of the Badr Corps. He spent three years in this position and then was transferred to the Lebanon Corps. Naghdi is fluent in Arabic and has a key role in the Qods Force in Lebanon. He also has a very active presence in Bosnia and Herzegovina under the alias Shams and later as one of the commanders of Iranian forces in Lebanon. In 1992 he was papointed by Khamenei as the Intelligence Deputy of the Qods Force and shortly thereafter the commander of Intelligence Production for the SSF. Elements of the Khamenei faction are still demanding trials of Mousavi and Karrobi. Large numbers of anti-state leaflets are being distributed in Tehran. They encourage the people to maintain their unity in opposing the regime. These people were detained during the October 2nd soccer match in Azadi Stadium.

 These events have been reported to World Threats. Informed sources in Tehran say that Khamenei has issued an arrest warrant for former presidential candidate Karrobi. Ayatollah Rafsanjani has resigned from the Expediency Council(?). Rafsanjani also expressed his concern that the RGC (Revolutionary Guards Corps) has gained control of everything. Karrobi continues to publicize the torture of persons arrested in anti-government protests. In his Friday sermon, Ali Khamenei attacked the opposition. “Confronting the System’s principles … has a severe answer.” The shaking Supreme Leader complained that they want to turn “the Islamic Republic’s System” that is a “religious system” into “a system that does not believe in religion.” Laying the foundation for the arrest of Karrobi and Mousavi, Khamenei said, “Revolution’s principles are not something we like or dislike …. If someone defies the principles, confronts the people’s security, the System has no choice other than to hardly answer back…. So the point is that we must all be careful. The Islamic Republic’s System is an Islamic system. It is a religious system. It is proud that it works within the framework of canon (Sharia) law and Islam and the Qoran. This shouldn’t turn into a system that does not believe in religion, as they say a secular system ….” In a speech on September Tenth, President Ahmadinejad (RGC member) reaffirmed the continuation of torture and suppression. He said, “the SSF (Special Security Forces) and the security forces are the iron fist of the Iranian nation against those who undermine the security.” He also praised the fraud in the recent Presidential Elections. Member of the RGC Firooz Adabi, Chief of the General Headquarters of the Iranian armed forces, insisted on the continuation of the regime’s atomic activities and said, “despite all of the confrontations the Islamic Republic insists on achieving atomic techniques and producing atomic fuel which is necessary for progressing.”
In a speech at the Ministry of defense, Adabi revealed the mullahs intentions to meddle in Lebanon and Palestine. He said, “when the Islamic Republic helps Lebanon or Palestine this is not only a political issue but also provides the interest of our country. If we don’t help the countries in the forefront of the war with the Zionist regime we must fight them in the future in our own borders.” Analysis. The hint even of an arrest warrant for a popular former presidential candidate is a good indication that all is not going well for the mullahocracy.
Note Rafsanjani’s statement that the IRGC controls everything. this portends continued interference in not only Lebanon and Palestine, but Iraq as well. Adabi’s statements indicate that the Iranian nuclear program will continue and that it is not at all for peaceful purposes. Source: World Threats
 Ayatollah Ali Khamenei approved Mr Ahmadinejad's second term during a televised ceremony in Tehran attended by other regime leaders. "Iranian people have voted in favour of a fight against arrogance, to confront destitution and spread justice," state-owned al-Alam television quoted Ayatollah Khamenei as saying. Mr Ahmadinejad will take the oath of office before Iran's parliament tomorrow. There were no immediate calls for protests to coincide with yesterday's ceremony, but authorities strengthened security patrols in Tehran. In a sign of the high-level discord over the election, the powerful former president Hashemi Rafsanjani did not attend the ceremony. Mr Rafsanjani has become a bitter political foe of Mr Ahmadinejad and is believed to have raised questions about the election results among the ruling clerics. Meanwhile, criticism of Iran's mass prosecution of activists widened yesterday with the main conservative challenger to Mr Ahmadinejad demanding authorities also seek punishment for those accused of killing protesters. The sharp rebuke by Mohsen Rezaei also showed the broad scope of opposition to the crackdowns after the disputed June 12 elections. Conservatives such as Mr Rezaei have increasingly joined ranks with liberal factions to denounce the harsh actions taken by Iran's leadership including sweeping arrests, media blackouts and attacks blamed for at least 30 deaths.

The 125,000-strong guard, formed following the Islamic Revolution of 1979 in an effort to consolidate several paramilitary forces into a single militia loyal to the regime, is seen at the vanguard of the post-election drive to silence dissenting views. The Revolutionary Guard secures the regime and provides training support to terrorist groups throughout the region, and its role since the disputed June 12 presidential election has led political analysts to describe the poll as a military coup. Rasool Nafisi, an expert in Iranian affairs and a co-author of an exhaustive study of the Guard for the Rand Corporation, told The New York Times yesterday: "It is not a theocracy any more. It is a regular military security government with a facade of a Shi'ite clerical system." The comments came as the conflict escalated with the Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, backed by hardline clerics and the Revolutionary Guard, issuing a warning to the opposition in general and powerful cleric Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani in particular. "The elite should be watchful, since they have been faced with a big test. Failing the test will cause their collapse," Ayatollah Khamenei said in a speech marking a religious holiday. "Anybody who drives the society toward insecurity and disorder is a hated person in the view of the Iranian nation, whoever he is." The opposition was emboldened when Mr Rafsanjani stepped into the fray with a Friday prayer sermon that sharply criticised the leadership's handling of the crisis. He has reignited the opposition, emerging as its leading patron. "You are facing something new: an awakened nation, a nation that has been born again and is here to defend its achievements," opposition leader Mir Hossein Mousavi said in comments this week that appeared pointed directly at Ayatollah Khamenei, in a tone rarely used towards the Supreme Leader. The defeated election candidate derided the claim by Ayatollah Khamenei and hardline clerics that the protest movement was a tool of foreign enemies. "Who believes that (protesters) would conspire with foreigners and sell the interests of their own country?" he said. "Isn't this an insult to our nation?" Analysts predicted Mr Rafsanjani's sermon could open the door to more anti-government comments from influential clerics. Mr Rafsanjani is a top cleric who helped found the Islamic republic and enjoys his own political base. The new assertiveness by leading opposition-minded clerics could reinvigorate a dwindling street movement, amid a government crackdown. The clerical split has so far been limited to a war of words. But as the rhetoric ratchets up, the stakes for both sides do, too. Ayatollah Khamenei and his clerics appear to be trying to reassert their once unquestionable authority. They also seem to be trying to avoid, for now, any drastic measure that could spark further violent protests on the streets, or a rebellion behind the scenes amid senior clerics.

Under the headline of a call for unity, former Iranian President Ali Akbar Rafsanjani has actually ensured that the divisions in Iran will continue and possibly increase. Mr Rafsanjani's first public comments since the election were eagerly awaited. It was clear the government was extremely nervous: media coverage of Friday prayers was restricted. Some journalists and opposition supporters reported problems over being allowed access to the ceremony at Tehran University. No doubt there was a fierce battle behind the scenes for him to be allowed to speak. Open challenge Since the election more moderate voices appear to have been sidelined as the rota of Friday prayer speakers was drawn up. Even some opposition members were uncertain about whether he would offer them support.  Mr Rafsanjani played his trump card: his friendship with Ayatollah Khomeini | In the end they may be satisfied that he kept their grievances alive. By calling for an open debate about the election result, Mr Rafsanjani was almost openly challenging the supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. Four weeks ago, from the same pulpit, Mr Khamenei called for an end to discussion about an election result which he declared had been blessed by God. Former President Rafsanjani played his trump card, by referring to his friendship with the founder of the Islamic Republic, Ayatollah Khomeini. He quoted Ayatollah Khomeini in ways that appeared to support the opposition's right to demonstrate. Mr Rafsanjani even called for protesters who have been arrested to be released from prison. Ahmadinejad weakened? Outside, the government was illustrating that it deeply disagrees with him. Tear gas was used against opposition supporters outside Tehran University, and there was a number of arrests.  Once again the opposition has shown it has not been quelled | But once again the opposition demonstrated its ability to get out supporters in large numbers. One website claimed there were millions of opposition followers on the streets of Tehran, though with foreign media access limited, that is impossible to verify. So the deadlock continues. While the opposition demonstrations go on, there is no sign that they will remove President Ahmadinejad. The president is set to move into his second term, with his inauguration on 2 August, but his authority could be severely weakened. Deep trouble? Former President Rafsanjani presented a five-point plan to escape from the deadlock, including the release of prisoners and media freedom. The plan is unlikely to be welcomed by the government. One of the most interesting points is almost a footnote. These were just his personal ideas, said Mr Rafsanjani, but they were based on consultation with senior figures in the establishment. That is one more indication that this is not just an argument between the Iranian public and those who rule them. It is a deep division at the heart of the Islamic Republic. And it could be the institutions of the Iranian government that break the deadlock. There is the assembly of experts, a body of senior clerics chaired by Mr Rafsanjani. In theory they have the job of "monitoring the performance" of the Supreme Leader, or even dismissing him. It is a powerful tool that so far Mr Rafsanjani has not brought into play - at least not publicly. More immediately the parliament, the Majlis, has the job of approving Mr Ahmadinejad's new cabinet, which he must nominate after his second term begins. Mr Ahmadinejad has hinted that he is going to shake up his administration. If he does so by appointing only loyal members of his inner circle, he may cause himself deep trouble with parliament. So despite the calls for unity, it is difficult to see any grounds for compromise in this crisis, the flames having once again been fanned by Mr Rafsanjani's comments. Source: BBC
