: *Iran protests: General declares 'sedition'
defeated*
The
head of Iran's Revolutionary Guards has declared the defeat of the
"sedition" in the country, referring to a wave of anti-government
protests.
The
general blamed anti-revolutionary agents, pro-monarchists and forces which he
said had been "announced by [US-ex Secretary of State Hillary] Clinton to
create riot, anarchy, insecurity and intrigue in Iran".
But
the general also blamed a "former official" for the protests, in a
comment analysts believe referred to ex-President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, who has
been critical of government officials, in particular Judiciary Chief Sadegh
Amoli Larijani, in recent weeks.
There
were fewer reports of unrest overnight, although it has been difficult to
confirm what has been happening on the streets of many cities, and social media
were still carrying videos and other posts about the protests.
