A spokesman for Iranian opposition leader Mir Hossein Mousavi called on the European Parliament on Wednesday to pressure EU nations not to recognize the re-election of President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.

Iranian filmmaker Mohsen Makhmalbaf said Ahmadinejad's government and clerical hard-liners in Tehran are "endangering the peace" in the Middle East. He said Ahmadinejad's government was now a "100 percent dictatorship" that needed to be challenged. (AP)

That would be giving IR all the propaganda tools to call the green movement as being sponsored by outsiders. this is not to say that they haven't done that already.

Makhmalbaf is in fact unofficial spokesperson for Mousavi. The link was posted on Twitter this AM #iranelection which is a credible source. My reservation is though how come EU has not announced it If true?

So what are you saying, Ayhab, it would be political suicide because it would imply that the legitimacy of the president is not just an internal affair?

and wgm, where did you read he denied it?

and anon, Makhmalbaf IS his 'unofficial' spokesperson in the 'West.' Or am I wrong?

I am not defending the news, and as yourself I am rather pessimistic about it validity. Because this act would be a suicide to Mousavi and all of his supporters. But as FYI, Y.net has quoted the news from Associated Press.

This is sensationalist propaganda

Makhmalbaf is nobodies spokesman. Mousavi would never say that. Who is EU to recognize anybody?

Israel is just trying to flame the fires here.

35 countries have recognized Ahmadinejad as the winner of the election

(June 30-35 out of 192 member nations of the UN)
