Khamenei calls for unity
Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei is calling for unity, the Associated Press is reporting.
Here’s the latest from the AP wire:
State television says Iran’s supreme leader has called for national unity during a meeting with representatives of the four candidates in disputed presidential elections.
Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei called for Iranians to unite behind the cleric-led ruling system despite rival demonstrations and street clashes between supporters of President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and his reformist opponent Mir Hossein Mousavi, who says Ahmadinejad stole re-election.
“In the elections, voters had different tendencies, but they equally believe in the ruling system and support the Islamic Republic,” Khamenei reportedly said.
Khamenei also reportedly called for representatives of the four presidential candidates to be present for the ensuing “limited recount.”
