Washington Airs Campaign Against Flawed Iranian Poll
June 17, 2005
Article originally posted at: http://www.debka.com/headline.php?hid=58
In an effort to undercut Iran's presidential election Friday, June 17, by
a low turnout, DEBKAfile's exclusive sources in Washington report that a
new US-sponsored broadcasting station went on the air. Called Ahwaziya,
it is beaming programs directly from America to Iran calling on the
ethnic Arabs of Khuzestan to boycott the vote as part of their revolt
against the Islamic regime.
The station ran a film exposing the damage their bombings had caused
government buildings in Ahwaz, capital of the oil-rich province last
Sunday, June 12. One of the slogans aired is: "Khuzestan is occupied
land. Persians do not belong there."
A special satellite relay facility brings the broadcasts to all parts of
Iran.
The Americans have also activated from the Persian Gulf, probably Dubai,
four radio stations that speak for various Arab factions in Khuzestan and
12 Internet radio stations whose programs address the Balochi, Azeri,
Kurdish, Bakhtiyari and Zoroastrian minorities of Iran with a call not to
cast their ballots.
In a sharp election-eve statement, President George Bush condemned Iran
as a state ruled by "men who suppress liberty at home and spread terror
across the world."
