Montazeri Speaks, Iran Listens
June 17, 2009 – 2:23 am
Grand Ayatollah Hossein Ali Montazeri spoke out today about Iran’s election.

The question, however, is whether Iran will get the revolution it desperately needs. The regime will do anything necessary–no matter how bloody and violent–to hold on to power. And the Obama Administration seems clueless on what the stakes really are in Iran.
