Yaser Ramsharaff, SDU Presidium member has declared the Akbar Ministry Dissolved
CHAOS IN THE CAPITAL: RAMSHARAFF DECLARES AKBAR OUSTED
URGENT NEWS UPDATE
This issue of the Tehran Daily Mail has been published under great duress. Tehran has been thrown into chaos as the SDU Presidium has supposedly voted to remove Akbar as party leader and therefore as Prime Minister. With the support of new police units, the "CLIQUE OF FIVE", members of the SDU Presidium have declared that the Akbar Ministry had violated the law code and the SDU by laws and had delegitimized itself to the people. The ringleader of the plotters, Yaser Ramsharaff has accused Prime Minister Akbar of "centralization of power, anti-party activities, and Bonapartism." He has declared himself the "Interim Prime Minister" and declared Prime Minister Akbar an enemy of the state. With the support of crack police units, the city has been closed off and the Parliament shut down. The rank and file of the SDU parliamentary caucus, who possess the true power in the party, are largely believed to be loyal to Akbar, and have been shut off. The Cabinet, a body fiercely loyal to the Prime Minister has also been cut off. The Party Presidium headquarters is believed to the base of the coup plotters. Yes, we declare it a COUP. The headquarters of this publication is currently surrounded, but communications are still online. The Staff headquarters of the Armed Forces has not been surrounded, and reports have emerged that the Tehran Military District has been mobilized. The Prime Minister apparently is racing back from his headquarters in Syria, and the state of affairs is very much in doubt.

The Army has seized Tehran!
Hashemi's officers seize the apparatus of State!
URGENT NEWS UPDATE
The Clique of Five have been crushed! Army units in the capital were mobilized just hours ago under direction of Chief of Staff of the Iranian Armed Forces Sharif Hashemi, and infantry in the capital immediately relieved the police of their posts throughout the capital. All units surrendered without resistance. Police on the periphery of the city threw down their guns as armored units bypassed their checkpoints. Field Marshal Sharif Hashemi has not spoke publicly, but the SDU Presidium has been put under siege by the army. No large scale fighting as broken out, but armed men in civilian clothing flaunting Kalashnikovs in the capital engaged in light firefighters with beat officers. Nobody is quite sure what is happening, and the whereabouts of the Prime Minister are unknown. Some reports indicate he has been assassinated or placed under arrest by the army or by traitorous elements of his personal guard. The Parliament is still under lockdown by the army, but food and water is being allowed in. Not so at Presidium headquarters. Is this a coup?
