He's the Khomenei leader. Head honcho, no?

Islamic Revolution Leader Ayatollah Sayyed Ali Khamenei

He's the Khomenei leader. Head honcho, no?

Hassan Khomeini, the grandson of the grand ayatollah

Khamenei

They recently cracked down on Iranians' access to most outside websites. Yesterday saw the removal of access to sites like Yahoo and Reuters.

Word (from a friend in Iran) is that they're transitioning to no outside-of-the-country internet access whatsoever.

I could speculate a million things here, but I won't, because I just don't know.

Thank you for the reply! I googled it and he's "Iran's supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei."

Any idea where he's heading with this speech?

He was president of Iran from 1981 to 1989, and has been Supreme Leader of Iran since June 1989 when the Assembly of Experts appointed him to succeed Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini. He has been described as one of only three people having "important influences" on the Islamic Republic of Iran (the other two being the founder of the republic, Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini, and the president of Iran for much of the 1990s, Ayatollah Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani).So far, the biggest challenge to his leadership has been the mass protests following the June 2009 presidential elections. Khamenei, however, continued to strongly support Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's policies and re-election.

Thank you all for the replies!

Morning everyone,

Todays new thread is now open. Today is the "day of departure" demo with millions expected on the streets

Thread: janey's Little Sock News Thread - Egypt Protests Updates - Friday Day of Departure Demo

Interesting turn of events.

I believe to influence the people in Egypt.He was the one that took over Iran after the revolution in 1979 and see where Iran is now. This is not good for the people of Egypt.

Janey's Friday thread is open

Egypt's defense minister and other top army officials are currently visiting Cairo's Tahrir Square, according to a defense ministry source. -- Rooters...

Thank you. He also made some comments about the West which concerned me. I trust your opinion about his intended influence over the people of Egypt.

Do you mean Prisoner Rendering Suleiman? Expert in torture Suleiman?

This does not look good seriously geopolitically. It's kinda like catch 22 - Iran is emerging in the picture of
the arab world. They take egypt they take the gateway of the whole region and the whole neighborhood.

I wonder if the US will take the bait and react to Iran's comments this morning. I hope not. I dont know why, just my gut...

Qutb Hussein from Alexandria: about half a million people are in #Alexandria demanding the departure of Hosni Mubarak #Egypt

The people can demonstrate all they like, but Mubarak doesn't need to take notice and resign. The only leverage that will force him out is exerted by his generals. But they won't exert it with force because it will then look like a military coup. He doesn't need to obey the Americans' demands to resign, so it could well be that all he needs to do is to wait it out, letting his thugs cause as much disruption as possible until he forces the opposition to agree to HIS terms, namely, to stay on until the presidential election in September.

So the question is: what can FORCE Mubarak out?

As some have suggested, it is NOT Obama-care, or anything to do with Obama why America is on the decline. America suffers from systemic brain-rot, gross stupidity, and insufferable xenophobia, perpetuated by right wing politicians and religious fundamentalists. They simply convince the sheep that Obama is to blame for everything, while manipulating everyone and everything behind the scenes, in cahoots with big money interests.

I am surprised we have not seen more today that we have.
