Iran supreme leader orders probe of vote fraud

JUNE 15, 2009 12:33

Iran's state television on Monday said the supreme leader has ordered an investigation into claims of fraud in last week's presidential election. Ayatollah Ali Khamenei is ordering the powerful Guardian Council to examine the allegations by pro-reform candidate Mir Hossein Mousavi, who claims widespread vote rigging in Friday's election. The government declared President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad the winner in a landslide victory. It is a stunning turnaround for Iran's most powerful figure, who previously welcomed the results. Mousavi wrote an appeal Sunday to the Guardian Council, a powerful 12-member body that's a pillar of Iran's theocracy. Mousavi also met Sunday with Khamenei. Mousavi's backers have waged three days of street protests in Tehran.
