Supreme Leader Khamenei Speaks To The Masses

Friday, June 19, 2009

Tens of thousands of people gathered at Tehran University to hear Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei speak. Despite Khamenei's assurances that the election was fair, and his urging to stay off the streets, protests continued. Joining us for an overview is Professor Hamid Dabashi, professor of Iranian Studies at Columbia University, and author of Iran: A People Interrupted and Islamic Liberation Theology: Resisting the Empire.

Watch a clip from Ayatollah Ali Khamenei's address below.

There have been spectacular demonstrations by Moussavi's supporters this week; however, I've seen almost nothing from Ahmadinejad's supporters. In fact until today, seems like Ahmadinejad's been in hiding. !?!?!?!
