Iran Today: Europe Condemns Iran, Obama Throws a Picnic, and Mousavi Attends Protest Outside of Parliament

From Gateway:

Great Britain ordered the expulsion of two Iranian diplomats, signalling a new low in relations between the two nations.

European Union foreign policy chief Javier Solana condemned on Tuesday the horrible violence that followed elections in Iran.

Great Britain, France, Germany and Canada condemned the crackdown on democracy protesters in Iran last week.

Even Egypt condemned Obama's cautious response to the situation in Iran.

But, Barack Obama is going to serve hotdogs.

Barack Obama won't cancel 4th of July celebrations with Iranian regime officials even as the mullahs continue to slaughter their own citizens on the street.
What a disgrace.

Mousavi To Attend Protest Outside Parliament Today ...Update: Crackdown!

Defying the brutal regime, Opposition leader Hossein Mousavi announced that he will attend a rally today outside of the Iranian Parliament Building.
FOX News reported:

Iranian opposition leader Mir Hossein Mousavi is expected to attend at a rally Wednesday amid an intensifying government crackdown on protesters following the country's disputed presidential election.

Mousavi's attendance is noted on his Facebook page, and there is speculation that former President Mohammad Khatami also will attend the rally, scheduled for 4 p.m. (7:30 a.m. EDT) in Tehran's Baharestan Square, outside of the Iranian parliament.

Also on Mousavi's Facebook page, online supporters have posted that peaceful protests will be held at the same time in over 15 countries and 10 American cities.

Care to bet that any Iranian 'official' that accepts this WH invitation to our grand-'ole-4th-BBQ is either a devout twelver shahid or diplo-dupe kebab for the pious entertainment of that malignant dwarf in Iran? Wonder if the planned DPRK 'fireworks spectacular' is a convenient diversion of limited resources for
Khamenei-Abassi-Mesbah-Yazdi [KAMY] Hojjatieh axis' .

Are the disputed election disturbances in Iran simply amplified noise [aka/intentionally created chaos] 'hastening' preparation/anticipation of 12th mahdi's return?
