Hardline Iranian cleric Ahmad Khatami urged the government on Friday to "better control" the foreign media, accusing them of fomenting the protests over this month's presidential election.
He also suggested that anyone who resorted to violence during the demonstrations should be considered a mohareb -- someone who fights against God -- and face the ultimate sanction.
"I expect the government to control them. How can they be allowed to wander round the country with their satellite phones giving information that provokes people to take to the streets?" Distributed by Tubemogul.
