Things just went from bad to worse. Another miscalculation because he (Khamenei) wants to save face and continues with his illogical support of AN.More good reading here.
He basically warned Mousavi to stop this or we'll make it worse. Veiled threats against Rafsanjani who is now being portrayed as the ring leader of all the troubles in Iran!
It is now 2 opposite poles: Khamenei and his supporters (no longer AN and his supporters!!) who include AN, Basij, and to varying extents Revolutionary Guards. Against everyone else!! I don't think Mousavi will back down; Karrubi certainly won't. In any case, when you have 1-3 million people on the streets of Tehran for you for 5/6 days in a row, not only will you not back off, but if he does, the crowds won't dissipate, they may simply become more violent!
For the first time, Rafsanjani should feel directly threatened. He is man after saving his own neck first and that is why despite rumours for about 3 days that he has gone to Qom to talk with Maraje' and try to hold an emergency session of the Council of Experts, there was still some doubt. For him and everyone else on the "opposition" side now, it should be clear that Khamenei will either have to go or at the very least taught a lesson (the former being more likely)!
Unfortunately, there will be many more deaths now. It is inevitable that the foolhardy and brainwashed will hit with that much more zelousy and the worse they hit and kill, the more people will come out in protest.
May God, Jesus, Buddha, Yauwe, Shiva or whomever else might be up there help. A massacre although still hopefully unlikely, just became one step closer. More deaths, almost inevitable.
