“We now have a situation where there are people in the UK, Europe and the US in the West, who are encouraging attacks on police stations, telling them how to make Molotov cocktails. What would the reaction be in the UK and elsewhere in the West if there were people in Iran directing rioters to carry out attacks on police stations in London, Paris and Washington? I wonder if the British Government has thought about the effect this will have on future rapprochement with Iran in the future?”

Mr Marandi stressed that that initial protests last Thursday were about economic grievances and were “entirely legitimate”, but, he said, “many of the marches were subsequently hijacked for extremist political motives. There are legal ways to protest: let’s not forget Iran is a democracy, we had presidential elections here this year with a turnout of more than 73 per cent in which 57 per cent voted for the current President.”

The Iranian authorities and Mr Marandi accuse the Mojahedin-e Khalq, which has bases in Europe including London, for instigating violence. The organisation fled Iran, basing itself in Saddam Hussein’s Iraq. A 2004 report by the FBI accused the organisation of money-laundering; three years previously the Charity Commission for England and Wales closed down a charity, Iran Aid, run by the group. Mojahedin-e Khalq denies any wrongdoing.

Where there is communication there is always the possibility of one individual saying to another individual or hosted on a blog 'this is how you make a bomb'. Thats often how terrorism works and people from a wide variety of countries I'm sure contribute. However, trying to suggest this kind of activity is state sponsored is a Molotov propaganda cocktail shaken not stirred and swallowed with relish.

Quoting a wedge down people's throats of unproven information isn't really the best way to get a point across.
