To Those Iranian Expats Calling for "Revolution"

Mehdi Karoubi responds:

I would like to request from Iranian diaspora to pay attention to some of their demands, expectations and slogans. Unfortunately, some of the excessive remarks that take place outside of Iran lead to internal pressures, and the regime takes advantage of these remarks to increase internal pressure on opposition forces within Iran.

Iranians abroad are the voice of the Iranian people outside of Iran. I am hopeful that as we move forward, the messages and slogans inside and outside Iran will be more aligned. We must also be careful and pay attention to the various influences. Sometimes people with influence who use harsh rhetoric only provide fuel to the ruling government to suppress the movement. This movement will continue and gradually the efforts both within and outside Iran will be better coordinated. It is important that we realize that our victory will require time and will not happen overnight.
