DUBAI, United Arab Emirates — A group of Iranian clerics has issued an anonymous letter calling Iran’s supreme leader a dictator and demanding his removal, perhaps the strongest rhetorical attack on him yet in the country’s post-election turmoil.
While the impact of the clerics’ letter, posted late Saturday on opposition websites, may have been diluted by the withholding of their signatures, two Iranian experts vouched for its authenticity.
Its publication followed other unusual verbal attacks on Ayatollah Ali Khamenei in recent days.
But the attacks don’t pose any real threat to Khamenei, who retains the loyalty of the security services and most of the political elite.
