Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad Sworn-In for Second Term

Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has been sworn-in for his second term in office and now the controversial leader has two weeks to form a government that will be approved by parliament.

 

While Ahmadinejad promised to “protect the official faith, the system of the Islamic revolution and the constitution,” scores of protestors outside parliament continued to call his election fraudulent and demanded reform to the system.

 

Following the announcement that Ahmadinejad won a second term the streets of Iran were filled with demonstrators which set of days of protests and led to at least 30 deaths. Ahmadinejad denied any wrong-doing in the election and his victory was supported by the country’s supreme leader.

 

Ahmadinejad criticized foreign countries, most notably the United States, for insinuating that his election was flawed. He addressed the issue during his address following the swearing-in stating, “Some governments should feel responsible for their words and deeds.” He continued, “(Foreign Governments) just want democracy at the service of their own interests - they do not respect the rights of other nations. They see themselves as the yardstick of democracy - our people oppose this, that's what our people are resisting.”
