Could it be that Iran is now in for a "New Revolution,"

of sorts, between the hardliners and the reformists

in the disputed Iranian 2oo9 Presidential Election

win of hardliner Mahmoud Ahmadinejad over his

arch-rival reformist and former prime

minister Mir Hossein Mousavi?

...

With Ahmadinejad now officially declared the winner

of yesterday’s explosive presidential election of 2oo9,

such means there’ll be no run off between the pair with

Ahmadinejad‘s 65% (revised to 62%) win over Mousavi's

32%. Elsewhere, I had earlier stated that Ahmadinejad

would not be easily unseated in his re-election bid and

it looks now that such has been the case whether it

has been by fair or foul in Iran. My question now is

this: "Whoever Is Iran's True Election Winner,

Would You Please Stand-Up?" The answer is that

both men are now standing-up with each of them

claiming to be the overall presidential winner.

Such will only cause future strife inside Iran.

...

But anybody who thought that reformist Mousavi

would easily "be let" to win the day were totally off

the ball in understanding the internal political, religious

and military forces standing behind the Ahmadinejad
Presidency. Islamic Iran is in no mood to divvy-up to

liberal reformists like Mir Hossein Mousavi, who I also

wouldn’t be surprise if he doesn’t get himself arrested

now for “insulting the president” during the 2oo9

campaign after President Ahmadinejad had himself

accused him of such. Hardliners, after all, usually

play political hardball. Especially, when they win!!

Ahmadinejad re-election is bad news for Washington

and especially angry and disconcerting news for Israel

after seeing its loudest arch-enemy not unseated.
Scuffles have also already broken out in Tehran, the

capital of Iran, over the disputed presidential election

results. If such should escalate inside Iran, then

internal strife could well prevail there and if serious

enough could eventually lead to some kind of student

and reformist revolt against Ahmadinejad and his

well-established cleric and revolutionary hardline

base. Such a revolt could then see the rise of a "New

Revolution," although at this stage it is doubtful,
in my opinion, for such to take root or life inside

Iran unless such a possible revolt is truly wide-

spread inside Old Persia. I cannot fully gauge

right now what the long-term or immediate im-

pact of such a disputed national election will have

on the national psyche of the overall Iranian

people. It will be primarily the students and

intellectuals who will agitate against the

Ahmadinejad election results. How far

they will get remains to be seen ... Not

far, I suspect! At least not for now.

^ Iranian Death Penalty: The Ugly Side of Iran ^

I have been happy to comment on the presidential election of Iran from a far distance here in London. I am intensely interested in political situations at home and abroad at whenever such arises to rekindle my political appetite that is always hungry to observe and where possible to also freely comment on. The next big election is the upcoming British General Election that must be called no later than by June, 2010. I am gearing-up for that with great relish and determined commentary that will stand 1,000%, yes 1,000%, against New Labour and all that it detestably represents to me ...

In the meantime, give a little thought to what has just happened inside Iran. And, get ready for military fireworks both inside and outside of Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's Shi'ite Nation. Many countries in the Middle East - most notably Saudi Arabia, Egypt, and the Gulf States - that oppose the rise of a feared and future Nuclear Iran under Ahmadinejad's now re-elected rule are shivering even more so in their big Arab boots. Iran should never be dismissed or under-estimated on the world stage. And Iran will gobble-up Israel just given a half a chance. So watch out ... for an Iran-Israel War is most probably on the way!!
