EU presidency: Iranian regime faces problem of legitimacy

NCRI – Swedish Foreign Minister Carl Bildt said Tuesday that the Iranian government was suffering from problems of legitimacy among Iranian citizens, following the recent elections, AFP reported.
“They, the leaders of Iran, must be concerned with the legitimacy of their regime in the eyes of their own electorate,” said Bildt, whose country currently holds the rotating European Union presidency.
“As to which conclusions that leads to, that remains to be seen,” he told members of the European parliament’s foreign affairs committee in Brussels.
