Alireza Islamian said, “Some friends said some things and his holiness (Khamenei!) said in answer that ‘I have supported all the governments but this government is different from former governments and the main difference is that they do not try to make a dual government (as opposed to a unified government)’… in the past the enemy wanted to make a dual government and in some circles, some people were looking to force such a state on the government saying that the government and parliament oppose the leader which is the center of the system, but this is not the case”.
Islamian quoted Khamenei and said, “If the leader says something now, the president accepts and acts accordingly and this is a very important issue which is the opposite of what is shown and imagined that Mr. Ahmadinejad does not listen to the leader. His honor stressed that this is not the case”.
“Today when the president or a top official goes abroad, I am not worried, but I was worried before about what officials wanted to say abroad”, this cleric quoted Khamenei as saying.

This is the dance which is my wish, an apology dance!

We live in a Islamic country and we do as Qoran says, do we ask from west that why you do not become a follower of Allah? Therefore they do not have right to ask us why we do not obey the Qoran’s rule and we do not execute the convicted. You tell us 100000 people, we do as Qoran states and all the convicted will be executed.

Mr. Khandan who has not been allowed to visit his wife in prison and only had 3 short phone conversations with her said, “I do not know what they have done to her.
