RE: Possible coup d'etat in Iran

[ZarakiKujata]

I guess more specifically, it would be the seizing of power from the elected government of Iran by the regime that formerly was in power, but lost it at the election to the candidates who both somehow won but couldn't decide how to handle things.

It seems as if the regime has managed to gather enough support to overthrow the democratic process and take all the power from the would-be-elected-presidents-if-shit-hadn't-gone-down, and revert things to the way they were.

The original thread's title was misleading. There never going to be a true coup d'etat. It was a stolen election by the government to keep the opposition out of office and despite irregularities in the vote because the Faqih(Khamenei) and Council of Experts are both behind Ahmadinejad there won't be any real investigation/recount etc as to what really happened.

Kuya, I think their society has gone past the point of accepting an American puppet government of any kind. Also, I think after 1953 and 1979 the CIA has learned that Iran is not a country it can do wetwork in.
