Tehrans governor says that a foreign-backed group intends to stage mock assassinations to disrupt Iran's pre-election political climate.
He assured that authorities would take the necessary security measures to ensure that all candidates are provided with a calm setting to run their campaigns.
He added that although the Principlistadministration was under attack by some potential contenders, it would not allow the rights of any candidate to be violated.
However, Reformist media, such as Roozonline, described the governor's speech as 'an assassination threat made against President Ahmadinejad's rivals'.
The notion of a planned assassination was first introduced a few months ago when the Keyhan daily published an article, predicting an incident similar to the assassination of Benazir Bhutto.
