Official returns show that Iran’s president, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, won re-election by a landslide. The tally has the incumbent with nearly twice as many votes as his reformist challenger, Mir Hossein Mousavi. Mousavi challenged the results, calling them a “charade,” and his supporters accused the government of shutting down cell-phone, text-messaging and Internet systems to silence them.
