Iran Accuses U.N. of Meddling

After accusing western media and nations of fomenting protests in Iran, the Iranian Foreign Ministry has now charged U.N. leadership with meddling in the affairs of their election.

Via Voice of America:

Iran is accusing U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon of meddling in its affairs after he urged the Islamic state to stop its crackdown on opposition protesters.

Iran's government also accused the U.N. chief of being influenced by unspecified foreign powers.

Mr. Ban released a statement Monday urging Iran's conservative government and reformist opposition to peacefully resolve their dispute over this month's election. Official results gave a landslide victory to the conservative incumbent, Mahmoud Ahamdinejad.
