时政：伊朗选举结果引发暴乱

伊朗总统艾哈迈迪-内贾德14日在德黑兰说，伊朗第10届总统选举是一次辉煌和自由的选举。

伊朗内政部长马赫苏利13日宣布，根据最终计票结果，内贾德以62。63%的得票率在总统选举中获胜，其主要对手前总理穆萨维获得33。75%的选票。美国方面拒绝承认这一结果，称将关注竞选中爆出的舞弊指控。

艾哈迈迪─内贾德当选后，上千名穆萨维支持者在德黑兰市中心一个广场集会声讨内贾德，是伊朗近十年来最严重的暴乱。

 

Violent clashes erupt on the streets of Tehran. Supporters of moderate Mir-Hossein Mousavi became angry after incumbent¹ President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad was declared the winner in the country's elections. The result has been fiercely disputed by Mousavi's supporters who claim he is the real winner. In Israel where Iran's uranium enrichment is seen as a direct threat to its existence, Sheila Dale says another four years of Ahmadinejad would just further divide East and West.

"Well, I'm not exactly happy about it. I think that it just shows all the more so that there is a continuing division between the East and the West. And for Israel, of course, it's not a good sign. Somewhere along the way, Israel is going to have to take steps whether or not the rest of the Western world agrees with Israel."

Last week, Israel said it had no plans to bomb Iran. Tehran meanwhile maintains its nuclear plant is purely² to produce the country's energy. In Gaza, Iran's ally Hamas welcomed the results.

"The Western world should respect the democracy and the choice of the Iranian people. This is a democratic and free election. We hope that this new Iranian leadership will continue to support the Palestinian rights and its people and help us to end sanctions."

And there was more support for Iran's leader from neighboring Iraq.

"President Ahmadinejad deserves victory, and we hope that he will help us establish security in Iraq. We also hope he will put an end to the infiltration³ of terrorists and deny those who intend to harm our country. We wish him all the best."

Iran and Washington have had no official ties since the Islamic Revolution in 1979. But on Friday, the Obama administration said it would like to improve the countries' relations regardless of the election outcome.
