Breitbart is running a piece detailing how one of the defeated candidates in Iran’s recent elections is worried that Iran will come apart from from a combination of civil strife and outside influences.
The election dispute also exposed rifts within Iran’s clerical establishment.
“A continuation of the current situation will drive us toward disintegration,” Rezaei said.
Rezaei also accused the United States and Israel of plotting against the country. Government officials have also accused foreign powers—the U.S. and Britain, in particular—of fomenting the unrest in the streets.
“They—the U.S and Israel—plotted this disintegration to weaken Iran and make it surrender through sanctions or attack” Rezaei said.
He also had words of rebuke for the government, saying it should have differentiated between protesters and what he called “counterrevolutionaries” and “violators.”
We have heard for a few years now that there is a real possibility that growing unrest in Iran would be enough to sufficiently halt it’s nuclear weapons progress. Fingers crossed.
