TEHRAN, Iran — Iran’s opposition leaders appealed Saturday to top clerics in the holy city of Qom to help stop the ruling Islamic regime’s violent postelection crackdown — reaching out to the one group that could go head-to-head with the country’s supreme leader.
Iran’s opposition maintains that President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad stole the June 12 elections from opposition leader Mir Hossein Mousavi by engaging in massive fraud.
The opposition has been hampered by the firm backing given the president and his election win by the country’s supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, who in Iran’s Islamic republic has the final say in all state matters.
