TEHRAN (Reuters) - Iran's highest authority, Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, told Iranian media on Wednesday not to publish anything that harms the image of leading political figures in the Islamic state, state television said.
When the June 12 presidential election returned hardline President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad to power with a wide margin, his reformist opponents cried foul and thousands of Iranians took to the streets in the biggest anti-government demonstrations in the 30-year history of the Islamic Republic.
