Iran's powerful Revolutionary Guards have called for the country's main opposition leaders to be arrested and
tried for inciting unrest.
Top official Yadollah Javani has accused Mir Hossein MousaA and a former president Mohammad Khatami of trying to
orchestrate a velvet coup after the disputed presidential election in June.
So far both men and other pro-reform leaders have a'.eided arrest over the wave of opposition protests against the election
result.
But the inauguration of President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad for a second term could pave the way for their prosecution.
Mr Javani says if they are found to have incited the unrest, Iran's judiciary and security officials should arrest them and put
them on trial.
