Three months after the disputed Iranian presidential election, the two men note that while members of their tribe regarded opposition candidate Mehdi Karroubi favorably, as a member of a related Turkic-speaking ethnic group, “most Kashgai probably voted for Ahmadinejad, as a result of gratitude for improved health, education, and infrastructure services and/or monetary inducements.” This cable directly contradicts the official US lie that Ahmadinejad “stole” the presidential election, one of the principal components of the ongoing propaganda campaign against Iran. The failure of Karroubi to win the vote in his home region of northwest Iran was invariably cited as “proof” of official ballot rigging. But the embassy cable demonstrates that the US government knew that Karroubi’s support there was weak.
