Political head of the Islamic Revolution's Guards Corps says that no one should remain impartial following the disputed presidential election, Press TV reported.
"Today, no one is impartial. There are two currents; those who defend and support the revolution and the establishment, and those who are trying to topple it," said General Yadollah Javani at a conference Sunday, according to IRNA.
"Those who wanted to topple the revolution made a mistake in their calculations," he said. "They had ignored the awareness of the people and the role of the Leader (of the Islamic Revolution)."
Referring to the color green, that was adopted by supporters of the defeated presidential candidate Mir-Hossein Mousavi, he said: "By setting off a 'green wave' they wanted to pressurize the Leader and the establishment and thereby they placed themselves in opposition and those who wanted to threaten the establishment through disturbance were thus exposed."
Iran became the scene of opposition rallies after Mahmoud Ahmadinejad was declared the winner of the 10th presidential election with nearly two-thirds of the vote.
Defeated candidates Mir-Hossein Mousavi and Mehdi Karroubi rejected the result as fraudulent and demanded a re-run.
General Javani, however, said the measures taken by the opposition were predictable and that the IRGC was prepared to counter the "velvet revolution" before the June 12 election.
"We came up against a deep mischief during this election. A mischief that gave birth to the new divisions," Javani said. "During these events, the eye of the mischief was damaged, but it was not blinded. Now the eye of the mischief must be blinded completely and gouged out, and this can be done by illuminating the events behind the scenes."
Javani was not only IRGC commander who has been commenting about the disputed elections in recent days.
Speaking at the same conference, Commander of the IRGC Major General Mohammad Ali Jafari said: "We are convinced that the IRGC must play a deciding role in the preservation and continuation of the revolution."
He, however, added that that this should in no way be interpreted as "meddling" by the IRGC in politics.
Jafari referred to the handing over the control of the situation to the IRGC and the taking of the initiative by the IRGC and calming the situation, which, despite some passion confusions, caused "a revival of the revolution and clarification of the value positions of the establishment at home and abroad."
"These events put us in a new stage of the revolution and political struggles, and all of us must fully comprehend its dimensions," General Jafari emphasized.
