Khamenei’s military advisor expresses fear of public protest during election

NCRI – A senior Iranian regime’s military official warned Sunday against any attempts to create unrest during the country’s upcoming presidential election.

“We warn domestic and foreign enemies and counterrevolutionary groups that any attempts to incite unrest or create sedition before or after the election will receive a vigilant and decisive response from the Iranian nation,” IRGC Major General Yahya Rahim- Safavi was quoted as saying.

“Relevant organizations and bodies must predict and (adopt) preventative (measures) against any domestic or foreign (sponsored) unrest,” said Rahim-Safavi, who is also a senior military adviser to Iranian regime’s Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei.

On 24 December 2006, Rahim Safavi was listed in United Nations Security Council Resolution 1737 asking for his assets (among others’) to be frozen because of alleged involvements in Iranian nuclear and ballistic missile programs.
