Iranian MPs' Condemn Khatami's Remarks about Armed Force

Conservative hardliners in the Iranian Parliament condemned former president Mohammed Khatami's remarks at a university the other day. Khatami said the the founder of the Islamic Republic Ayotollah Khomeini, did not want to export the Islamic Revolution with armed force. The MPs accused Khatami of threatening national security and launched a complaint against him at the Intelligence Ministry. He spoke about this on friday when the Shite group Hezbollah seized control of half of Beirut, which may lead to civil war in Lebanon. The Sadrist militia in Iraq and Hamas in Gaza are other current examples of Iran influencing events in other countries. The former president denied that he was referring to Iranian foreign policy.

"Did he mean that we take up arms, that we blow up places in other nations
and we create groups to carry out sabotage in other countries? The Imam was
vehemently against this and was confronting it," BBC.
