Only the Council can stop it now, and then only by backing down, which they are not noted for doing. If this escalates to a general strike things are going to get very interesting indeed. The army is nominally under command of the secular side, which is the side that just set the deadline. And the army is the key.

Interesting, but we'll see if any of this is more than just talk....After all, how many times has Khatami said he'd leave?? And how many of the names does the Council have to put back in the "yes" pile, before the reformists back down? A couple?

Excellent! Although it would be much better if they would just do it immediately, rather than threaten to do it; and if they're going to threaten to do it they should demand more concessions from the mullahs, not just the reversal of the council's electoral decisions.
How about the parliament? Are any members there threatening to resign? Khatami will never regain the confidence of the real reformers (the ones in the street, who've already given up on him) unless he either gets some real gains out of this crisis, or resigns.

The council has drawn lines in the sand and now finds itself in a box.
