Muhammad-Reza Ali-Zamani, a member of an anti-revolutionary group known as Monarchy Organization of Iran confessed, in Iran's Revolutionary Court prosecuting Iran's post-vote rioters, to contacting US intelligence agents in Iraq and then attempting to Popular Qashqavi also criticized the UK for harboring key terrorists, including members of the Monarchy Organization of Iran last 24 hours last week The trials of the local British Embassy staff, Hossein Rassam, and Nazak Afshar, a French Embassy employee Iran and a female French lecturer charged with ‘acting against Iran's national security', Clotilde Reiss, were held in Tehran on Saturday. sermon Rassam admitted to having been ordered by his superiors to take part in Iran's post-election protests. Reiss, 24, who was working in Iran as a lecturer at the Isfahan Technical University, admitted to the court that she had written about Iran's nuclear power program as well as the post-vote developments for the French Embassy and asked for clemency. Afshar also admitted on Saturday that she had taken part in post-election demonstrations, sent emails containing information on the riots, and let rioters into the embassy based on orders given by her employers. The developments come as US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said on Sunday that the US was trying ‘behind the scenes' to empower protesters disputing Iran's presidential election. French Foreign Minister Bernard Kouchner also told the Le ParisierifAujourd'hui en France newspapers on Monday that the country's embassy in Tehran was ready to give refuge to Iranian rioters fleeing police. ‘What was said Saturday was true. If protestors, who were being chased had sought refuge in the French Embassy, the instruction was to open the door,” he said. In lis Monday address to reporters, Qashqavi reiterated that Teiran has no plan to cut its relations with countries that have tried to interfere with its post-election events particularly with Britain. He, however, said that other options, including expelling diplomats, could be put on the table. Qashqavi also lit back at an “illegal and sLrprising” statement by the European Union's Swedish presidency calling for an immediate release of employees of the British and French embassies. ‘Why do European countries interfere in Iran's domestic affairs? Why don't they leave our nation alone? We have never interfered in their internal affairs,” said the spokesman. SF/SC/DT Print I Send by E-Mail are .
