After Wave of Protests, Iran Speaks of Public Hangings, Threatens West
(Asharq Al-Awsat-UK) Amir Taheri - Supreme Guide Ali Khamenei says the uprising in Iran was the result of "a deep, broad and very dangerous foreign conspiracy." The daily Kayhan, believed to reflect Khamenei's views, is calling for gallows to be erected to hang "evil-doers" in public, regardless of the numbers involved. The Islamic Revolutionary Guards' news site Fars said: "Our enemies live in glass houses and their most sensitive and strategic economic and military assets are within our range. By inflicting heavy financial and military damage on the enemy we can push him into desperation and force him to kneel in front of us." President Hassan Rouhani threatens "foreign enemies, saying, "If we have no security, no one shall have security." The writer was the executive editor-in-chief of the daily Kayhan in Iran from 1972 to 1979.
