    KHAMENEI ISSUES STRONG WARNING TO OPPOSITION

    /PanARMENIAN.Net/ Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei told
    politicians Monday not to disturb the country's security in a strong
    warning to the opposition to back down after one of its top figures
    called for a referendum on the government.

    Khamenei addressed "Iran's elite" and warned them to be cautious in
    the positions they take on the turmoil that has shaken the country
    since the disputed presidential election on June 12.

    He said that hurting Iran's security was "the biggest vice," adding
    that "anybody who drives the society toward insecurity and disorder
    is a hated person in the view of the Iranian nation, whoever he is."

    However, Khamenei did not mention any names.

    "Elites should know that any talk, action or analysis that helps
    (the enemy) is a move against the nation. We should be very careful,"
    Khamenei said

    "People regard with hate anyone, in any position, who wants to
    move society towards insecurity," Khamenei said. "There are things
    that should not be said. If we say them, we have moved against the
    nation. This is now a test for the elites and failing in this test
    ... means falling down."

    Meanwhile, Iran's former president Mohammad Khatami called on the
    authorities to hold a referendum on the legitimacy of the government
    after the country's disputed June presidential vote, Reuters reported.
