Tehran, YJC. Brother to the Supreme Leader has said that Mousavi was chosen by the enemy for his support by Hashemi and other groups.
In
an interview with Fars, Ayatollah Seyyed Mohammad Khamenei said "Last time the
enemy planed a color revolution. This time they surely will not use the same
strategy. The sum of all ideas and expertise from American think tanks and
their consultants, who lead the 09 sedition, seems to have lead to a new
scenario.”
Khamenei
said "They have introduced someone who will attract the most votes and will
rather resemble them in thought. As evidence show, probably Mr. Rafsanjani is
the best choice for this plan.
He
added "According to the enemy, whether the person is aware or not, there are
reasons for Mr. Hashemi’s priority for this plan. First is his long-held belief
in relations with the US and his public statements to that effect. Second, is his
bureaucratic and political position in current situations and the possibility
that he will surpass the Guardian Council. Third, is the widespread propaganda
by those close to him, circling around his pre-revolution record and political
positions prior to the 09 sedition. Fourth, is the confidence that exists in
his holding to previous stance, and support for the seditious and lack of
resentment despite some equivocal statements. Fifth, is his having roots in
some organizations and strata including all tribes and ethnicities, and the readiness
to establish relations with some Arab sheiks and neighbors.”
