Iran: Khamenei, Ahmadinejad, IRGC prepare grounds for bloody internal purge

NCRI – Ali Khamenei, mullahs’ Supreme Leader, and his faction are preparing the grounds for a bloody internal purge and widespread crackdown as infighting within the regime is escalating in the run up to the regime’s presidential election. In the meantime, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), which fears social upheavals and the youth to take advantage of the power struggle within the regime, warned against any developments similar to the one happened in Georgia. The Revolutionary Guard Javani, head of the IRGC political bureau said, “Any move in line with a velvet revolution in Iran will be crushed at its inception.”

Referring to the bloody crackdown of uprising by people and students on the orders of Khamenei and Khatami on July 9, 1999, he said, “sedition by those who seek disorder,” and “instability of the country with ominous political aims” will be crushed “with a hint by the leader” and “they will be annihilated.”

He continued by threatening the rival faction and said, “It is the Supreme Leader who determines the road map and people will distance themselves from those who do not follow that path.”

Meanwhile, Ahmad Salek, a cleric from Khamenei’s faction said, “By deploying thugs and hooligans, those who seek disorder on streets plan to repeat the events of Central Asia to incite a velvet revolution in Iran.”

In his speech at Sharif Technical University yesterday, mullahs’ president Ahmadinejad spoke about repressing the rival faction and Hashemi Rafsanjani’s family and said, “I will deal with them in the next government.”

He reiterated, “Those who violated the people’s rights and used their wealth for personal purposes will be paraded in the bazaar and forced to apologize before the people.”

By referring to the rival faction, Ahmadinejad said, “According to the law, the president should not be insulted. They have insulted the president and this is a crime. In compliance with the law, that person must be punished and he should be jailed.”

As the Iranian Resistance has reiterated, mullahs’ sham election and escalation of internal feuding in the final phase of the regime, has turned into a broad crisis facing the clerical medieval regime. This is an illegitimate regime and all its factions as well as leaders have been involved in torture and killings, export of terrorism and fundamentalism, plundering the Iranian people’s wealth and they should be put on trial for war crimes and crimes against humanity.
