What to do with the Opposition in Iran: Assasinate?

A day after the governor of Tehran province made shocking remarks about reports on the possible ‎assassination of one of the presidential candidates, prompting the minister of intelligence to deny the ‎report, hardline Raja news site which is close to President Ahmadinejad announced the possible ‎assassination of Mir Hossein Mousavi in the month of Ordibehesht (April 21 to May 21, 2009). ‎

Pro-administration Raja news site provided the details of a project called Hot Ordibehesht, even ‎naming the assassin so that the threat of the physical elimination of Ahmadinejad’s presidential rival ‎falls on someone who is a recognized supporter of a reformist candidate. It is interesting to note that ‎supporters of Ahmadinejad have named a person to be the assassin of Mousavi who is himself a victim ‎of terrorism who has, after ten years after an assassination attempt on him, not yet fully recovered ‎himself.

Saeed Hajjarian is the person named by Raja news, which explains this accusation in these ‎terms: “He is mentioned as the principal organizer of the psychological war of the reformers.”
