Coup Story Telling, how did it happen?

I have written in the last post that there was not only an election fraud and results falsification but also a real classic political coup supported by military forces. The military force behind this illegal political rebel is probably some parts of the Iranian Revolutionary Guards who have helped Ahmadinejad to win the first term of his presidency. This group have benefited from having one of their partners as the president a lot. The benefits were in form of winning many construction and development projects through government without giving the private sector any chance even to compete. Receiving extraordinary permissions for controlling important infrastructure without any supervision of other organizations and people, and finally helping the president in order to limit the clerical backbones of the Islamic Republic, and reducing their role in the political and financial control of the country. All this together with the huge oil income of the past years has made the president office as a must have accessory for right wings in order to complete their dominance. The only barrier till now were the remaining effects of the reformist politics of ex-president Mohammad Khatami and the remaining power in hand of the first generation of revolutionary administration, especially elder clerics. The first one can be and has been nullified by ending the possibility of political activity through filters that are foreseen in the constitution and changing the other civil laws of governance through the parliament. The second one has at least caused many clashes at the background during the past 4 years of the Ahmadinejad in office. The reason that Mir Hossein Mousavi declared his candidacy was to stop the new militarily backed group of the new generation of revolutionary forces from taking absolute power in hand by long term control of the last stand, which is the president office. Why and how did they start the election game against one other will be written in one of my next post.

Now after a little bit of the story background, i wish to refer you to what Mohsen Makhmalbaf has said about the course of events just after the election day, on the night of counting and declaration of results. Mohsen Makhmalbaf is a very famous Iranian film director living abroad. He has been appointed as Mr. Mousavi's appointed as press director abroad, after Mr. Mousavi's campaigns headquarters have been attacked by paramilitary forces after the voting day. The Interview with Makhmalbaf is translated from Persian to English. And his radio interview with radio in Persian language is also available. I refer you to the links on the web:

I have many reasons to believe what Makhmalbaf. He is a reliable independent artist.

Best,
