"Todays youths are far away from reality, confused on situations"
"Iranians should not repeat doubts about poll"
Denies fraud!!!
People decided and chose who they wanted

"indirectly the "DEBATE" shouldnt last any longer. he said if it lasts any longer, it'll result in 'hatred' #iranelection"

"rumors" and "allegations".

"we should fight corruption"


"Yes, we have corruption, but criticizing the regime is "not the right thing to do."

Iranian updates (keep refreshing page#8)


"I have come due to concerns of current political and social conditions - to defend the rights of the nation. I have come to improve Iran’s international relations. I have come to tell the world and get back Iran’s pride, our dignity and our future. I have come to bring to Iran a future of freedom, of hope and of fulfillment.
I have come to represent the poor, the helpless, and the hungry. I have come to be accountable to you, my people, and to this world. Iran must participate in fair elections. It is a matter of national importance. I have come to you because of the corruption in Iran. 25% inflation means ignorance, thieving and corruption.
Where is the wealth of my nation? What have you done with the $300 billion in the last four years? The next Government of Iran will be chosen by the people. Why do all our young want to leave this country? I know of nobody else who places himself ahead of 20 million other of a nation. "
