You Can't Fool Iran

They get the picture, just like the rest of "informed" people in the world.
Iranian paper blames Israel for unrest

Conservative daily linked to Khamenei says UK, US, and Israel cooperated to instigate post-election riots

An Iranian newspaper published a report Sunday accusing Britain, the US, and Israel of instigating the deadly riots that gripped the country after its controversial elections
Before people go off, I'm not opposed to change in Iran, I am not a supporter of Ahmadinejad, but, I AM a supporter of Iran making it's own change on it's own time frame without US, Israel and England interfering using the Internet, progressive bloggers and CIA groups. You can read what I wrote in June about this very thing HERE and HERE. Because the US has a new strategy for overthrowing countries without using Armies and bombs, but rather using the Internet, bloggers and infiltrating into political groups. It's a much "cleaner" way, but it's still America screwing other countries and not letting them progress at their own rate, and definitely not respecting the democratic mandate of elections, just like in Palestine, they don't recognise HAMAS who ere duly elected with a majority of the votes, even in the West Bank. Ditto in Iran. This kind of fiddling never works out and always causes the country to close ranks when it knows outside forces are at work. If this continues, it will end in tears, with an attack on Iran likely, using the elections as part and parcel of the justification. Like it or not you have to deal with the outcome of elections, otherwise don't pretend to support democracy.

Israel's BIG Win

Mahmoud Ahmadinejad is "re-elected"

I wrote about this three days ago and said that due to Israels continued "war games" towards Iran that the country would close ranks and re-elect Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. Israel must be overjoyed today, their man was re-elected, now they have a "whipping boy"

Still, here is what we can expect to see now. I believe Iran will still change. Far too many moderates and young people turned out to ignore. Iran's a funny place, even though the Establishment "helped" Mahmoud Ahmadinejad to a win. They will still recognise the groundswell. This is why they turned off SMS texting and shut down access to certain websites the day before the election.

What we can expect to see is change in Iran, even under Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. The Clerics are intelligent, some are quite progressive as well, whilst others are not.

So, even though the course and the message may change, the delivery will still be from Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, and he has "baggage" that Israel will capitalise on. Whereas a Mousavi win they'd have had nothing but speculation and false accusations.

This will make things a bit harder for Obama as Israel will use all of Mahmoud Ahmadinejad former statements and actions as a reason to impose more sanctions and possibly attack them.

It's not the biggest hurdle Obama will face, but we must watch this closely as the Israelis are crafty.
