Factfile on Iran with map

It has been reported that Iranian authorities have agreed to recount votes, a day after violence and hatred had erupted. Seven people were killed in the terrorizing uproar. According to Iranian and other polls, Incumbent Mahmoud Ahmadinejad didn't seem to stand a chance. Meanwhile on Monday, opponent Mir Hossein Moussavi told his supporters that the election was completely unfair. He stated "The election fraud was obvious, and I will pay any cost to realize the ideals of the Iranian nation. The reason the people of Tehran have demanded change is because of the lack of creating jobs, loss of jobs, and the staggering stages of the economy under Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. The violence in Iran has also attracted world figures such President Barack Obama. When asked about the situation going on in Iran, he felt sorry and told reporters that "it is was up to Iranians to choose their leaders. During the intervening time, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad is in Russia to meet with President Dmitry Medvedev. Ahmadinejad was always about power, now he is powerless. I don't think the recount makes a big difference, the losing side will always feel irritated, triggering more and more chaos.

    One independent pollster I read said an Ahmedinejad victory was legitimate, but not with the margin. That smells like rigging, however, it really depends on the outcome of the recount. People have forced it, let's see if there are lies involved and if the authorities stick by them if they are. I personally would like to see Ahmedinejad go; I don't trust him, but then that may just be the effect of hearing him demonised on TV all the time. I think i'll wait till I get to Iran before forming a fully fledged opinion.
