Central News Unit (Islamic Republic Media)- Tehran’s Friday Prayer Imam stated today: “The group who considers themselves critics [addressed to Mousavi and Karoubi] should announce where they stand. Either they are on this side [with the Vali Faghih] or they are on the other side [against the Regime]. There is no third way.”
He continued: “To our brothers who call themselves protesters, we ask, how much longer are you going to continue with your protests? Are you still going to use your destructive statements which neglect the law? Are you going to water the roots of those who try to turn any cooperative situation into a conflict?”
Ahmad Khatami pointed out the the destructive activities of last month and said: “They say it was not them who created the chaos; the question is who initiated this atmosphere? How long are you going to continue your protests and annoy the people [Vali Faghih]?”
“They should clearly state where they stand before it is too late, and try to use the legal system to deal with their complaints. This is best for them.”
“If they wish to stay in this country and remain parallel with the people [Vali Faghih], they should act legally, and they should know that otherwise, the nation will continue its way with its leader, and it is them [the protesters] who will lose the game.”
The Friday Prayer Leader talked about the nuclear issue: “The enemies must know that the people of Iran are not going to negotiate about nuclear power anymore. They should know that our people will never give up their rights to nuclear power.
