Iran... sigh...

Thanks to Danse at Truthaction for this transcript/translation of Khamenei's speech today.
#
[02:22] (A. K.) The legal mechanism in our country won't allow any cheating.
#
[02:23] (A. K.) Those are involved in the election process are aware of this fact
#
[02:23] (A. K.) Especially if there is an 11 million votes difference
#
[02:23] (A. K.) If it were little than that, we would say there's doubts,
#
[02:23] (A. K.) but how can 11 million votes be replaced or changed?
#
[02:23] (A. K.) At the same time
#
[02:24] (A. K.) I said this and the guardian council believes that whoever has doubts can present proof to the legal channels.
#
[02:24] (A. K.) I will not accept any illegal initiative.
#
[02:24] * A. K. is now known as A. K.
#
[02:24] (A. K.) Today,
#
[02:24] (A. K.) If the laws are broken today,
#
[02:24] (A. K.) No election will be immune in the future
#
[02:25] (A. K.) in every election,
#
[02:25] (A. K.) there are losers and winners
#
[02:25] (A. K.) no other election will ever be trusted if you take other avenues.
#
[02:25] (A. K.) thus, all legal procedures should be observed
#
[02:25] (A. K.) If there are any doubts, the issue should be followed by legal procedures
#
[02:25] (A. K.) we have laws
#
[02:25] (A. K.) the candidate's representatives had the right to inspect the ballot stations
#
[02:26] (A. K.) And to make complaints
#
[02:26] (A. K.) through the legal procedure
#
[02:26] (A. K.) If they have doubt, it should be recounted - the individual ballot boxes.
#
[02:26] (A. K.) Today is a very sensitive moment in our country
#
[02:26] (A. K.) look at the Middle East
#
[02:26] (A. K.) look at the economic situation in the world
#
[02:26] (A. K.) look at Iraq, Afghanistan and Pakistan
#
[02:27] (A. K.) VERY sensitive juncture in history, we are in.
#
[02:27] (A. K.) we should be careful to not make mistakes
#
[02:27] (A. K.) the voters' duty was to take part in the elections in the best possible manner
#
[02:27] (A. K.) but we have a bigger responsibility
#
[02:28] (A. K.) political party leaders should be very careful about what they say and do
#
[02:28] (A. K.) if they do anything extremist, their radical moves will moves will take them to where it won't be solvable
#
[02:28] (A. K.) we've seen this happen before
#
[02:28] (A. K.) when extremism is forced upon a society, it leads to another one
#
[02:28] (A. K.) if political elite want to fix someone at the cost of another thing
#
[02:29] (A. K.) to BREAK the law
#
[02:29] (A. K.) they would be responsible for the bloodshed
#
[02:29] (A. K.) And any form of unrest
#
[02:29] (A. K.) I would like to advise all these gentlemen,
#
[02:29] (A. K.) All my brothers and friends
#
[02:29] (A. K.) Just observe the hands of the enemy
#
[02:29] (A. K.) They are hungry wolves
#
[02:30] (A. K.) ambushing and removing the diplomacy cover from their faces
#
[02:30] (A. K.) Don't underestimate them.
#
[02:30] (A. K.) I will tell you,
#
[02:30] (A. K.) diplomats of other countries in the past few days have taken away their masks and showing their true image
#
[02:30] (A. K.) The most evil of them all is the British Government.
#
[02:31] (A. K.) I should tell these brothers,
#
[02:31] (A. K.) you are responsible before god

#
[02:32] (A. K.) if after every election those who haven't gotten votes start to have street camps and invite their followers to come to the streets,
#
[02:32] (A. K.) And the winners' followers take their followers to the streets,
#
[02:32] (A. K.) Then why did we hold elections to begin with?
#
[02:33] (A. K.) what have the people done wrong?
#
[02:33] (A. K.) They live on these streets
#
[02:33] (A. K.) That we want to show them we can do such things
#
[02:33] (A. K.) For terrorists it is different
#
[02:33] (A. K.) infiltrating terrorist will hide behind these people.
#
[02:34] (A. K.) if you make covers for them, then who's responsible?
#
[02:34] (A. K.) people have been killed from ordinary people and the Baseej
#
[02:34] (A. K.) Who's responsible?
#
[02:34] (A. K.) The issues is that some people have killed Baseeji forces and killed other people,
#
[02:34] (A. K.) who should address this issue?
#
[02:34] (A. K.) Who should react?
#
[02:34] (A. K.) attack at universities,
#
[02:34] (A. K.) Good students were beaten up
#
[02:34] (A. K.) not the ones who were involved in riots.
#
[02:35] (A. K.) then they chant slogans of supporting the leader.
#
[02:35] (A. K.) Then you become unhappy and your heart is hurt to see all this.
#
[02:35] (A. K.) street wrestling is not acceptable after the elections
#
[02:35] (A. K.) this is challenging democracy and election
#
[02:35] (A. K.) I want both sides to put an end to this
#
[02:36] (A. K.) then the responsibility of the consequences should be shouldered by those who aren't putting an end to it.
#
[02:36] (A. K.) by thinking that by turning out onto the streets that you can pressure the officials your demands is wrong.
#
[02:37] (A. K.) first of all.
#
[02:37] (A. K.) it will not be acceptable to submit to illegal demands
#
[02:37] (A. K.) this would be the start of dictatorship.
#
[02:37] (A. K.) This is a miscalculation,
#
[02:38] (A. K.) If there are any consequences, they would directly affect the leaders behind the scene
#
[02:38] (A. K.) the people would know them in due time as well.
#
[02:38] (A. K.) I call on all these dear friends, brothers and sister to observe the law
#
[02:38] (A. K.) to follow the legal code
#
[02:38] (A. K.) the law welcomes you
#
[02:38] (A. K.) legal channels are there for you
#
[02:39] (A. K.) i hope that almighty god will help us all to follow the legal channels.
#
[02:39] (A. K.) don't allow the enemies to destroy and ruin the celebration of our elections.

#
[02:44] (A. K.) it was said on behalf of the US president that he was waiting for a day that people came out to streets.
#
[02:44] (A. K.) Inside the country
#
[02:44] (A. K.) their agents started their action
#
[02:45] (A. K.) they started to cause riots in the street
#
[02:45] (A. K.) they caused destruction
#
[02:45] (A. K.) burnt houses,
#
[02:45] (A. K.) theft and insecurity prevailed.
#
[02:45] (A. K.) the people felt unsafe and insecure
#
[02:45] (A. K.) this has nothing to do with supporters of the candidate
#
[02:45] (A. K.) this is the servants of the westerners
#
[02:45] (A. K.) Zionist agents and their servants.
#
[02:46] (A. K.) What was clumsily done inside Iran by some, made them greedy
#
[02:46] (A. K.) they thought that Iran is Georgia.
#
[02:46] (A. K.) An American Zionist capitalist some time ago claimed that he had spent ten million dollars and created velvet revolution in Georgia
#
[02:47] (A. K.) They are comparing the Islamic Republic with GEORGIA!?
#
[02:47] (A. K.) What do you think we are?
#
[02:47] (A. K.) You don't understand us.
#
[02:47] (A. K.) What are you talking about?
#
[02:48] (A. K.) what is the worst thing to me in all this
#
[02:48] (A. K.) are comments made in the name of human rights
#
[02:48] (A. K.) and freedom and liberty
#
[02:48] (A. K.) made by American officials
#
[02:48] (A. K.) they said that we are worried about Iranian nations
#
[02:48] (A. K.) WHAT? Are you serious?
#
[02:48] (A. K.) Do you KNOW what human rights are?!
#
[02:48] (A. K.) Who did that in Afghanistan?
#
[02:48] (A. K.) The wars and bloodshed
#
[02:48] (A. K.) Who is crushing Iraq under its soldier's boots?
#
[02:48] (A. K.) in Palestine?
#
[02:48] (A. K.) Who supported the Zionists?
#
[02:49] (A. K.) even inside America
#
[02:49] (A. K.) During the time of the democrats
#
[02:49] (A. K.) Time of Clinton
#
[02:49] (A. K.) 80 people were burned alive in Waco?
#
[02:50] (A. K.) Now you are talking about human rights?
#
[02:50] (A. K.) Well,
#
[02:50] (A. K.) I believe that the officials of America and EU should feel some embarrassment
#
[02:50] (A. K.) shouldn't say anything like that
#
[02:50] (A. K.) Islamic republic supports oppressed people of Iraq, Afghanistan and Palestine
#
[02:50] (A. K.) we support all those who are oppressed
#
[02:51] (A. K.) we are supporting the flag of human rights
#
[02:51] (A. K.) flag of humans is raised in this country by Islam
#
[02:51] (A. K.) we don't need advice about human rights
#
[02:51] (A. K.) My speech about the election is over.
#
[02:51] (A. K.) (VERY ABRUPTLY!)
