Iran minister: U.S., Zionists trying to destabilize Iran
By Reuters
Tags: Iran election, Israel news 

Iran's intelligence minister said on Sunday that no organized vote rigging took place which could affect the outcome of the country's disputed June 12 presidential election.

Gholamhossein Mohseni-Ejei also said on state television that the United States had aimed to destabilize the Islamic Republic with vote rigging allegations.

"I am announcing that no organized rigging which could affect the result of the election took place," he said.

"Americans and the Zionists wanted to destabilize Iran ...even months before the election they started to talk about the possibility of vote rigging in Iran and they continue this path after the election," the minister said.

The United States and its Western allies reject accusations by Tehran of interference in this month's vote, which official results showed was won by hardline President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.

His main challenger, moderate former Prime Minister Mirhossein Mousavi, says the vote was rigged and that the election should be annulled.
