西方国家强烈否认伊朗政府所指称的西方国家鼓动伊朗的选后暴力,但是,伊朗官员继续指责西方干涉和扶植伊朗的动荡。

伊朗媒体说,伊朗议会议长拉里贾尼呼吁重新评估同英国的关系。拉里贾尼说,议员们应认真考虑修改德黑兰同伦敦的关系。拉里贾尼星期一在议会的一次演讲中说了这番话。

英国外交大臣米利班德星期天表示,他“断然”驳斥外国在操纵伊朗抗议人士的说法。

美国参议院情报委员会主席范斯坦参议员也表示,据她所知,“在选举后没有操纵伊朗人民的情形”。

伊朗在指责英国广播公司与美国之音“策划目前的选后骚乱”后,驱逐了英国广播公司在德黑兰的常驻记者。

美国之音台长奥斯汀驳斥了伊朗的指责。

Western nations have strongly denied Iranian government allegations that they are encouraging Iran’s post-election violence, but Iranian officials continue to accuse the West of interfering and fostering unrest in Iran.

Iranian media say Parliament Speaker Ali Larijani called for a review of Iran’s ties with Britain, saying lawmakers should carefully consider revising Tehran-London relations. He made the comments Monday in a speech to parliament.

On Sunday, British Foreign Secretary David Miliband said he “categorically” rejects the idea that foreign countries are manipulating protesters in Iran.

And the head of the U.S. Senate Intelligence Committee, Senator Dianne Feinstein, also said that to the best of her knowledge, “there has been no manipulation of people following the election.”

Iran has expelled the British Broadcasting Corporation’s permanent correspondent in Tehran after accusing the BBC and the Voice of America of “engineering the ongoing post-election riots.”

VOA Director Dan Austin has rejected Iran’s accusations.
