Iran Elections: Khamenei tells Mousavi shut up or get out

Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has reportedly given defeated reformist presidential candidate Mir Hossein Mousavi to either accept the disputed results of the recent elections, or leave the country for exile.

Khameini has instructed Mousavi to stand beside him as he uses Friday prayers at Tehran University to discuss the elections results for the first time and call for national unity, according to The London Times.

Hundreds of thousands of protesters wearing black and carrying candles filled the streets of Tehran again Thursday, joining Mousavi to mourn demonstrators killed in clashes over Iran's disputed election.
