Iran's elite Revolutionary Guards warned the moderate opposition
not to stage any rallies on Nov 4, when the Islamic Republic marks
the 30th anniversary of the seizure of the US embassy in
Tehran.
Opposition leader Mirhossein Mousavi, who says the June election
that he lost to President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad was rigged, appeared
to urge his supporters two days ago to take part in rallies on that
day.
In mid-September, his supporters clashed with police and government
backers at annual demonstrations in support of the
Palestinians.
Some reformist websites have called for renewed demonstrations
on Wednesday.
The Guards, who helped to quell huge street protests after the
election, called on the Iranian people to exercise vigilance in
regard to the likelihood of mischief and plots by the enemy's
agents and some unaware and misguided (people) on November 4, the
official IRNA news agency reported.
"The Iranian nation will not allow any (political) group to impose
itself and use diversionary and false slogans on Wednesday," it
quoted a Guards statement as saying.
