Iran lauds arms supply to Palestinians against 'tumor' Israel
By Parisa Hafezi
DUBAI (Reuters) – Iran's Supreme Leader on Friday denounced Israel as a "tumor" to be removed and hailed Tehran's supply of arms to Palestinians, drawing swift condemnation from the United States, European Union and Israel.
Opposition to Israel is a core belief for Shi'ite Muslim-led Iran. The Islamic Republic supports Palestinian and Lebanese armed groups opposed to peace with Israel, which Tehran refuses to recognize.
"The Zionist regime (Israel) is a deadly, cancerous tumor in the region. It will undoubtedly be uprooted and destroyed," Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei said in an online speech.
The United States and European Union rejected the comments.
U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo on Twitter dismissed them as "disgusting and hateful anti-Semitic remarks" that did not represent the tradition of tolerance of ordinary Iranians.
EU foreign policy chief Josep Borrell said they were "totally unacceptable and represent a deep source of concern".
Although leaders of Palestinian militant groups in Gaza, including Hamas and Islamic Jihad, have frequently praised Iran's financial and military support, Khamenei had not himself previously given public confirmation of Tehran's weapons supply.
"Iran realized Palestinian fighters' only problem was lack of access to weapons. With divine guidance and assistance, we planned, and the balance of power has been transformed in Palestine, and today the Gaza Strip can stand against the aggression of the Zionist enemy and defeat it," he said.
Israeli Defence Minister and Alternate Prime Minister Benny Gantz said: "The State of Israel has great challenges in a variety of arenas. Khamenei's statement that Israel is a 'cancerous tumor' illustrates this more than anything."
He said on Facebook: "I do not suggest anyone to test us …We will be prepared for all threats, and by any means."
In a statement described as a response to Khamenei, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said: "Those that invoke the threat of destruction against Israel put themselves in similar danger."
RALLIES CANCELLED
Zeyad al-Nakhala, chief of Palestinian Islamic Jihad, which has publicly admitted getting Iranian arms and funds, praised Khamenei's comments. "We are ready for a long jihad and victory is granted," he said in remarks distributed by the group.
Iranian officials have repeatedly called for an end to Israel, including by a referendum that would exclude most of its Jews while including Palestinians in the region and abroad.
Khamenei suggested global attention on the coronavirus crisis had helped obscure wrongs done to Palestinians. "The long-lasting virus of Zionists will be eliminated," he added.
Khamenei was speaking on Iran's annual Quds Day, which uses the Arabic name for Jerusalem, held on the last Friday of the Muslim fasting month of Ramadan.
Iran cancelled nationwide Quds Day rallies due to coronavirus. Iran is one of the most affected countries in the region with 7,300 deaths and a total of 131,652 infections.
Khamenei also denounced what he called treason by "political and cultural mercenaries in Muslim countries" helping Zionists to downplay the Palestine issue, an apparent reference to some Arab states including Iran's regional rival Saudi Arabia.

Iran will support any nation or group that fights Israel: supreme leader
(Reuters) – Iran will support any nation or group that fights Israel, Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei said on Wednesday.
"We will support and assist any nation or any group anywhere who opposes and fights the Zionist regime, and we do not hesitate to say this," Khamenei said in a post on his official English language Twitter account.

Iran holds election, hardliners set to dominate with turnout key
By Parisa Hafezi and Babak Dehghanpisheh
DUBAI (Reuters) – Iranians voted on Friday in a parliamentary election likely to help hardline loyalists of the supreme leader tighten their grip on power as the country faces mounting U.S. pressure over its nuclear program and growing discontent at home.
State television said voting, which began at 0430 GMT, would run for 10 hours but could be extended depending on turnout. In mid-afternoon, an Interior Ministry official told state TV that about 11 million of 58 million eligible voters had cast their ballots for candidates in the 290-member parliament.
The election is seen as a referendum on the popularity of the clerical establishment given that most moderates and leading conservative candidates were barred from running.
With thousands of potential candidates disqualified in favor of Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei's allies, the vote is not expected to ease Iran's nuclear standoff with the United States or spawn a softer foreign policy.
Parliament's power is limited, but gains by security hawks could weaken pragmatists and conservatives who support the ruling theocracy but also more economically beneficial engagement with the West, from which Tehran has been estranged since the 1979 Islamic Revolution.
A rise in the number of hardliners in the assembly may also help them in the 2021 contest for president, a job with broad daily control of government. Pragmatist President Hassan Rouhani won the last two elections on promises to open Iran to the outside world.
The United States' 2018 withdrawal from Iran's nuclear deal with world powers, and its reimposition of sanctions, have hit Iran's economy hard and led to widespread hardships.
A U.S. drone strike killed Iran's most prominent military commander, Qassem Soleimani, in Iraq on Jan. 3. Iran retaliated by firing ballistic missiles at U.S. targets in Iraq, killing no one but causing brain injuries in over 100 soldiers.
Encouraging Iranians to vote, state TV aired footage of people lined up at polling stations set up mainly at mosques.
"I am here to vote. It is my duty to follow martyr Soleimani's path," said a young voter at a mosque at a cemetery, where Soleimani is buried in his hometown.
Soleimani, architect of Tehran's overseas clandestine and military operations as head of the Revolutionary Guards' Quds Force, was a national hero to many Iranians. He was Iran's most powerful figure after Khamenei.
"Each vote put into the ballot box is a missile into the heart of America," said Amirali Hajizadeh, head of the aerospace unit of the Revolutionary Guards.
Rouhani urged Iranians to "further disappoint the enemies" by voting in large numbers.
But weariness among women and the young, who comprise a majority of voters, about high unemployment and restrictions on social freedoms looked likely to depress the turnout.
LOWER TURNOUT LOOMS
Iranians who joined large protests in November called on their leaders to focus on improving the battered economy and tackling state corruption, also urging Khamenei to step down.
"I don't care about this election. Moderates or hardliners, they are all alike. We are getting poorer with each passing day," university student Pouriya, 24, said by telephone from the city of Isfahan. "I am leaving Iran soon. There are no jobs, no future for us."
Iranian authorities forecast a turnout of about 50%, compared to 62% and 66% respectively in the 2016 and 2012 votes.
Iranians contacted by Reuters in several cities by telephone said turnout was low.
"In my area in central Tehran not many people are voting. There is one polling station just beside my house in Javadiyeh and only a handful of voters were there when I last checked an hour ago," said sports teacher Amirhossein, 28.
With Iran facing deepening isolation on the global stage and discontent at home over economic privations, analysts described the election as a litmus test of the leaders' handling of the political and economic crises.
Health ministry authorities advised voters not to be concerned about the threat of new coronavirus cases, as Tehran confirmed 13 new ones on Friday, two of whom have died.
"RELIGIOUS DUTY"
The slate of hardline candidates is dominated by acolytes of Khamenei, including former members of the Guards, who answer directly to the supreme leader, and their affiliated Basij militia, insiders and analysts say.
Former Guards commander Mohammad Baqer Qalibaf tops the parliamentary list of the main hardline coalition for Tehran's 30 seats in the assembly.
Khamenei was the first to cast his ballot, saying voting is "a religious duty".
The Guardian Council removed 6,850 moderates and leading conservatives from the field, citing various grounds for the rejections including "corruption and being unfaithful to Islam".
That left voters with a choice mostly between hardline and low-key conservative candidates. On Thursday, the U.S. Treasury Department imposed sanctions on members of the Council over the candidate bans.
Iran's rulers have faced a legitimacy crisis since last year when protests over a fuel price hike turned political with demonstrators calling for "regime change". The unrest was met with the bloodiest crackdown since the Islamic Revolution, with hundreds of protesters killed.
Many Iranians are also angry over the shooting-down of a Ukrainian passenger plane in error in January that killed all 176 people on board, mainly Iranians. After days of denials, Tehran said the Guards were to blame.

Iran will back Palestinian armed groups as much as it can: leader
DUBAI (Reuters) – Iran will support Palestinian armed groups as much as it can, Iran's Supreme Leader said on Wednesday, urging Palestinians to confront a U.S. plan for Israeli-Palestinian peace.
"We believe that Palestinian armed organizations will stand and continue resistance and the Islamic Republic sees supporting Palestinian groups as its duty," Ayatollah Ali Khamenei said in a speech, the text of which appeared on his website.
"So it will support them however it can and as much as it can and this support is the desire of the Islamic system and the Iranian nation."
U.S. President Donald Trump announced a U.S. plan last month which would set up a Palestinian state with strict conditions but allow Israel to take over long-contested Jewish settlements in the occupied West Bank.
Palestinian leaders have rejected it as biased toward Israel.
Trump's plan is to the detriment of America and Palestinians should confront the deal by forcing Israelis and Americans out through jihad, Khamenei said, according to his official website.
Tensions have spiked between Iran and the United States after top Iranian military commander Qassem Soleimani was killed in a U.S. drone strike in Baghdad on Jan. 3, prompting the Islamic Republic to retaliate with a missile attack against a U.S. base in Iraq days later.
Khamenei jabbed at Arab leaders who have supported the Trump plan.
"The welcoming and clapping from a few traitorous Arab leaders who are worthless and dishonorable among their own people has no importance," Khamenei said, according to his official website.
Separately, Khamenei called for a high turnout in parliamentary elections on Feb. 21, broadly seen as a gauge of support for authorities after all-out war with the United States almost broke out last month.
"It's possible that someone doesn't like me but if they like Iran they must come to the ballot box," Khamenei said, according to his official website, noting that the elections could help solve Iran's international problems.
Last week, Iranian President Hassan Rouhani lashed out at hardliners over the mass disqualification of candidates for the election.
Iran's economy has been battered after Trump pulled out of a multilateral nuclear deal with the Islamic Republic in 2018 and reimposed sanctions in a bid to bring Iran to the negotiating table for curbs on its ballistic missile program and to cut its support for regional proxies.
America's attempt to pressure Iran to negotiate through sanctions will not work, Rouhani said in a speech broadcast live on state TV on Wednesday.
"They thought we would request negotiations from America. Negotiations by their definition, not our definition," Rouhani said. "They want us to surrender through cruel, unequal and undignified negotiations. This is impossible for the Iranian people."

Iran supreme leader ups ante in volatile stand-off with U.S.
DUBAI (Reuters) – Iran's supreme leader upped the ante in a volatile stand-off with the United States on Tuesday, warning Tehran would continue removing restraints on its nuclear program and retaliate for the seizure of an Iranian oil tanker.
Tensions have spiked since U.S. President Donald Trump last year abandoned world powers' 2015 nuclear deal with Iran under which it agreed to curtail its enrichment of uranium in return for the lifting of global sanctions crippling its economy.
European parties to the pact decided on Monday not to trigger the deal's dispute mechanism in favor of pursuing more talks and avert any U.S.-Iranian military conflict, but took no action to shield Iran against a sanctions clampdown by Trump.
Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, Iran's ultimate authority, accused Britain, Germany and France of failing to uphold obligations under the deal to restore Iranian access to global trade, especially for Tehran's oil exports blocked by U.S. sanctions.
"According to our foreign minister, Europe made 11 commitments, none of which they abided by. We abided by our commitments and even beyond them. Now that we've begun to reduce our commitments, they oppose it. How insolent! You didn't abide by your commitments!" Khamenei said, according to his website.
"We have started to reduce our commitments and this trend shall continue," Khamenei said in remarks carried by state television.
IRAN FUMES OVER EU INACTION
He has previously upbraided European powers for not standing up to Trump and circumventing his sanctions noose. Russia and China are also parties to the accord.
But it was the first time Khamenei explicitly pledged to press ahead with breaches of the nuclear deal, spurning European appeals to Iran to restore limits on enrichment aimed at obviating any dash to developing atomic bombs.
"So far, efforts to win gestures from Iran to de-escalate the crisis are not succeeding (as) Tehran is demanding the lifting of sanctions on its oil and banking sectors first," a European diplomatic source told Reuters.
Iran has long denied any intent to acquire nuclear weapons and has said all its breaches could be reversed if Washington returned to the deal and its economic dividends were realized. Tehran has accused Washington of waging "economic war".
"Western governments' major vice is their arrogance," Khamenei said. "If the country opposing them is a weak one, their arrogance works. But if it's a country that knows and stands up against them, they will be defeated."
IAEA inspectors last week confirmed Iran is now enriching uranium to 4.5% fissile purity, above the 3.67% limit set by its deal, the second breach in as many weeks after Tehran exceeded limits on its stock of low-enriched uranium.
The level at which Iran is now refining uranium is still well below the 20% purity of enrichment Iran reached before the deal, and the 90% needed to yield bomb-grade nuclear fuel. Low-enriched uranium provides fuel for civilian power plants.
European Union foreign ministers, in a meeting on Monday, deemed Iran's violations not to be "significant", drawing Israeli accusations of appeasement recalling failed diplomacy with Nazi Germany in the run-up to World War Two.
British Foreign Secretary Jeremy Hunt said on Monday Iran remained "a good year away from developing a nuclear bomb", adding there was still a "small window to keep the deal alive."
The Europeans are trying to set up Instex, a barter-based trade conduit with Iran but it would initially deal only in items not subject to U.S. sanctions — such as pharmaceuticals and foods. Iran has said Instex must include oil sales or provide substantial credit facilities for it to be beneficial.
Khamenei also said Iran would respond to Britain's "piracy" over the seizure in early July of an Iranian oil tanker in Gibraltar.
"Evil Britain commits piracy and steals our ship … and gives it a legal appearance. The Islamic Republic…will not leave this wickedness unanswered and will respond to it at an appropriate time and place," he said.
Iran has called on Britain to immediately release the vessel, which was detained by British Royal Marines on the suspicion that it was breaking European sanctions by taking oil to Tehran's close ally Syria.
Washington says it is applying "maximum pressure" on Iran to agree stricter limits on its nuclear capacity, curb its ballistic missile program and end support for proxy forces in a Middle East power struggle with U.S.-backed Gulf Arabs.
Fears of direct U.S.-Iranian conflict have risen since May with several attacks on oil tankers in the Gulf, Iran's downing of a U.S. surveillance drone, and a plan for U.S. airstrikes on Iran last month that Trump aborted at the last minute.
In what loomed as another obstacle to trouble-shooting diplomacy, Iran confirmed on Tuesday it had detained French-Iranian scholar Fariba Adelkhah but declined to elaborate, a day after Paris demanded information on her case.
Rights activists have accused Iran of arresting a number of dual nationals to try and extract concessions from the West – a charge the Islamic Republic has repeatedly dismissed.
Iran's rial currency appears to have stabilized despite the brewing confrontation with the United States, gaining about 13% since early May after a 60% plunge last year.
Analysts said that not only was Iran's forex market growing used to the tensions but the central bank had propped up the rial through injections of hard cash and steps to ensure the return of dollars earned from exports.

Trump imposes new U.S. sanctions on Iran, including supreme leader
By Steve Holland and Stephen Kalin
WASHINGTON/RIYADH (Reuters) – U.S. President Donald Trump imposed new U.S. sanctions on Iran on Monday following Tehran's downing of an unmanned American drone and said the measures would target Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.
Trump told reporters he was signing an executive order for the sanctions amid tensions between the United States and Iran that have grown since May, when Washington ordered all countries to halt imports of Iranian oil.
Trump also said the sanctions would have been imposed regardless of the incident over the drone. He said the supreme leaders was ultimately responsible for what Trump called "the hostile conduct of the regime."
"Sanctions imposed through the executive order … will deny the Supreme Leader and the Supreme Leader's office, and those closely affiliated with him and the office, access to key financial resources and support," Trump said.
The Trump administration wants to force Tehran to open talks on its nuclear and missile programs and its activities in the region.
Iran said on Monday U.S. cyber attacks on its military had failed, as Washington sought to rally support in the Middle East and Europe for a hardline stance that has brought it to the verge of conflict with its longtime foe.
Washington has blamed Tehran for attacks on tankers in the Gulf in recent weeks, which Iran denies. On Monday, the United States said it was building a coalition with allies to protect Gulf shipping lanes.
A coalition of nations would provide both material and financial contributions to the program, a senior U.S. State Department official said, without identifying the countries.
"It's about proactive deterrence, because the Iranians just want to go out and do what they want to do and say hey we didn't do it. We know what they've done," the official told reporters, adding that the deterrents would include cameras, binoculars and ships.
The United States accuses Iran of encouraging allies in Yemen to attack Saudi targets.
In a joint statement on Monday, the United States, Saudi Arabia, the UAE and Britain expressed concern over Middle East tensions and the dangers posed by Iranian "destabilizing activity" to peace and security in Yemen and the region.
The confrontation between Iran and the United States heated up last Thursday when Iran shot down an American drone, saying it had flown over its air space.
Washington, which said the drone was in international skies, then appeared to come close to attacking Iranian military targets, with Trump saying that he aborted a retaliatory air strike 10 minutes before it was to go ahead.
Trump said he decided the strike, to punish Iran for shooting down the drone, would have killed too many people.
U.S. media have reported that Washington launched cyber attacks last week even as Trump called off his air strike. The Washington Post said on Saturday that the cyber strikes, which had been planned previously, had disabled Iranian rocket launch systems. U.S. officials have declined to comment.
FEARS OF WAR
Iran dismissed the cyber attacks as a failure.
"They try hard, but have not carried out a successful attack," Mohammad Javad Azari Jahromi, Iran's minister for information and communications technology, said on Twitter.
"Media asked if the claimed cyber attacks against Iran are true," he said. "Last year we neutralized 33 million attacks with the (national) firewall."
Allies of the United States have been calling for steps to defuse the crisis, saying they fear a small mistake by either side could trigger war.
"We are very concerned. We don't think either side wants a war, but we are very concerned that we could get into an accidental war and we are doing everything we can to ratchet things down," British Foreign Secretary Jeremy Hunt said.
U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo jetted to the Middle East to discuss Iran with the leaders of Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates, two Gulf Arab allies that favor a hard line. Pompeo met King Salman as well as the king's son, de facto ruler Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman.
The U.S. special representative for Iran, Brian Hook, visited Oman and was headed to Europe to explain U.S. policy to allies. He told European reporters on a phone call ahead of his arrival that Trump was willing to sit down with Iran, but that Iran must do a deal before sanctions could be lifted.
U.S.-Iran relations have deteriorated over the past year since the United States abandoned a 2015 agreement between Iran and world powers designed to curb Iran's nuclear program in return for the lifting of sanctions.
U.S. allies in Europe and Asia view Trump's decision to abandon the nuclear deal as a mistake that strengthens hardliners in Iran and weakens the pragmatic faction of President Hassan Rouhani.
France, Britain and Germany have sent an official diplomatic warning to Iran if Tehran reduces its compliance with the accord, two European diplomats said on Monday.
It was not immediately clear what consequences Iran might face for non-compliance.
Washington argues that the agreement known as the JCPOA, negotiated under Trump's predecessor, President Barack Obama, did not go far enough, and new sanctions are needed to force Iran back to the table to make more concessions.
Both sides have suggested they are willing to hold talks while demanding the other side move first. In the latest comment from Tehran, an adviser to Rouhani repeated a longstanding demand that Washington lift sanctions before any talks.
But the adviser, Hesameddin Ashena, also tweeted a rare suggestion that Iran could be willing to discuss new concessions, if Washington were willing to put new incentives on the table that go beyond those in the deal.
"If they want something beyond the JCPOA, they should offer something beyond the JCPOA; with international guarantees."

Iran's first president says Khomeini betrayed 1979 Islamic revolution
By John Irish and Michaela Cabrera
VERSAILLES, France (Reuters) – Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini betrayed the principles of the Iranian revolution after sweeping to power in 1979, his first president told Reuters, leaving a "very bitter" taste among some of those who had returned with him to Tehran in triumph.
Abolhassan Bani-Sadr, a sworn opponent of Tehran's clerical rulers ever since being driven from office and fleeing abroad in 1981, recalled how 40 years ago in Paris, he had been convinced that the religious leader's Islamic revolution would pave the way for democracy and human rights after the rule of the Shah.
"When we were in France everything we said to him he embraced and then announced it like Koranic verses without any hesitation," Bani-Sadr, now 85, said in an interview at his home in Versailles, outside Paris, where he has lived since 1981.
"We were sure that a religious leader was committing himself and that all these principles would happen for the first time in our history," he said.
Khomeini fled Iran in the mid-1960s, fearing a crackdown on his teachings by the Shah, eventually settling in a modest house in a village outside Paris from where he fomented unrest in Iran and nurtured the future Islamist revolution.
Bani-Sadr, son of a senior Shi'ite Muslim cleric and a former student of economics in Paris, had close family ties with Khomeini and helped him move to France after periods in Turkey and Iraq, becoming one of his closest aides.
"France was the crossroads of ideas and information, which is why he picked it after Kuwait refused to take him," Bani-Sadr said. "When he was in France he was on the side of freedom. He was scared that the movement wouldn't reach its conclusion and he'd be forced to stay there."
MULLAHS
For Western observers, at least, Khomenei appeared to endorse a more modern interpretation of Islam in which religion and politics were kept separate and Iran would move away from the Shah's dictatorship, Bani-Sadr said.
"It was when he came down the steps from the plane in Iran where he changed … The mullahs got a hold of him and gave him a new destiny, which is the dictatorship we see today," he said.
Bani-Sadr was elected president on Feb. 5, 1980, in a popular vote, but under the new Islamic Republic's constitution, Khomenei wielded the real power – a situation that has continued since his death in 1989 under his successor, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.
Bani-Sadr recounted how he went to see Khomenei, now known as the Supreme Leader, in the city of Qom a few months after their return to bemoan pressure from religious authorities to force women to wear the veil. He said this went against promises he made in Paris that women should have a right to choose.
"(Khomeini) told me he had said things in France that were convenient, but that he was not locked into everything he had said there and that if he felt it necessary to say the opposite he would," Bani-Sadr said.
"For me it was a very, very bitter moment."
Despite such disappointment and his long exile, Bani-Sadr said he did not regret having been part of the revolution.
But he warned that U.S. President Donald Trump's effort to bring Tehran to heel through economic sanctions would backfire, hurting ordinary Iranians while reinforcing the existing system.
"If Mr. Trump left Iran alone, you'd see that the system is a lot more fragile than one imagines. We don't need a new revolution," he said.

Iran's supreme leader criticizes U.S. policies toward Tehran
BEIRUT (Reuters) – Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei lashed out on Sunday at U.S. President Donald Trump's administration and what he characterized as its hostility to the Islamic Republic.
"This inexperienced group has not recognized the people and leaders of Iran," he said, according to the website for state TV. "When they get hit in the mouth, at that time they'll know what's going on."
Khamenei and other senior Iranian officials have ramped up their criticism of the United States in recent weeks after Trump went on an official visit last month to Saudi Arabia, Iran's main regional rival.
During that visit, Trump singled out Iran as a key source of funding and support for militant groups. He has also criticized the nuclear deal between Iran and six major powers, including the United States, that led to the lifting of most sanctions against Iran, in return for curbs on its nuclear programme. Trump has said Washington would review the deal but stopped short of pledging to scrap it.
Iran and the United States cut diplomatic ties shortly after Iran's 1979 Islamic revolution and enmity to Washington has long been a rallying point for hardline supporters of Khamenei in Iran.
Khamenei has accused the United States and its regional ally Saudi Arabia of funding hardline Sunni militants, including Islamic State, which carried out its first attack in Iran earlier this month, killing 17 people.
Riyadh has denied involvement in the suicide bombings and gun attacks on Iran's parliament and the mausoleum of the Islamic Republic's founder, Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini.
Khamenei said in his speech on Sunday that any efforts to destabilize the Islamic Republic would not succeed.
"In the past 38 years, when has there been a time when you haven't wanted to change the Islamic system?" Khamenei said, according to Fars News. "Your head has hit the rock each time and always will."

Iran's Supreme Leader warns against disrupting presidential vote
BEIRUT (Reuters) – Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei warned on Wednesday that any attempts to disrupt the presidential election on May 19 would be dealt with harshly.
The vote has shaped up to be primarily a contest between incumbent president Hassan Rouhani, a pragmatist who has campaigned on a platform of opening up the country to the West and easing social restrictions, and hardline rival Ebrahim Raisi, who served in top positions in the judiciary for years.
The election will be held as Rouhani, elected in a landslide in 2013, is coming to the end of his four-year term.
Raisi has the backing of Khamenei, according to analysts.
"If people participate with order, behave morally, observe legal and Islamic parameters then this will be a source of honor for the Islamic Republic," Khamenei said, according to the transcript of a speech published on the Supreme Leader's official website.
"But if they break the law, operate in an immoral way, or speak in a way that will encourage enemies, then the elections can be seen as a loss."
Dozens of people were killed and hundreds arrested when widespread protests broke out after a disputed presidential election in 2009, which kept Mahmoud Ahmadinejad in office for a second term, according to human rights groups.
"The security of the country must be completely preserved during the election," Khamenei said in the speech, which was delivered to an audience that included top commanders from the Revolutionary Guards, the most powerful military and economic force in the country.
"Anyone who deviates from this path should certainly know that they will be given a slap."
Rouhani is standing for a second term against five other candidates, including his own vice president Ishaq Jahangiri, a moderate, and Tehran mayor Mohammad Baqer Qalibaf, a hardliner.
If nobody wins more than 50 percent of the votes cast in the first round on May 19, there will be a run-off a week later.
Raisi has harshly criticized Rouhani's economic performance during live presidential debates in the past two weeks.
Khamenei is also unhappy with Rouhani's economic performance and said the government should have done more to tackle unemployment.
Iran has an unemployment rate of 12.7 percent for a population of about 80 million, according to figures released by the Statistical Centre of Iran last autumn.
Rouhani, for his part, has indirectly criticized Raisi's time at the judiciary.
"The people of Iran will announce in (the May election) that they don't accept those who only knew executions and prison for 38 years," Rouhani said Monday, according to the Iranian Students' News Agency (ISNA).

Iran's Ahmadinejad defies supreme leader to attempt comeback
ANKARA (Reuters) – Hardline former president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad surprised Iran's clerical establishment by registering for the May 19 presidential election, defying the Islamic Republic's Supreme Leader's warning not to enter the race.
Vilified in the West for his barbs against America and Israel and questioning of the Holocaust, the blacksmith's son Ahmadinejad has upset predictions before by stealing the show in 2005 when he defeated powerful former president Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani in a run-off vote.
Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei revealed last year that he had recommended to Ahmadinejad not to enter the contest. But after his registration on Wednesday, Ahmadinejad told journalists that Khamenei's recommendation was "just advice", Iranian media reported.
Khamenei praised Ahmadinejad as "courageous, wise and hard-working" after his re-election in 2009, which ignited an eight-month firestorm of street protests. His pro-reform rivals said that vote was rigged.
But throughout Ahmadinejad's presidency, Khamenei was wary of him, and his insubordination and relentless self-aggrandisement rankled the hardline clergy.
Ahmadjinejad was required to step down because of term limit rules in 2013, when President Hassan Rouhani won in a landslide on a promise to reduce Iran's international isolation.
After a term out of office, Ahmadinejad is now permitted to stand again under Iran's constitution, but he still needs the approval of the 12-member Guardian Council which vets candidates, six members of which are appointed by Khamenei.
"His disqualification by the Guardian Council would show that the council is not independent and follows the orders of the supreme leader," said political analyst Saeed Leylaz.
Khamenei's backers accuse Ahmadinejad's camp of pursuing an "Iranian" school of Islam, viewed as an inappropriate mix of religion and nationalism. Ahmadinejad may pay the price for disobeying Khamenei by running for president, analysts said.
"Khamenei will not forget this move, which was aimed to harm his image," said political analyst Hamid Farahvashian.
In 2011, Khamenei was so annoyed by Ahmadinejad's hunger for more power that he floated a proposal to change Iran's constitution to do away with a directly elected presidency altogether, an idea Ahmadinejad briskly dismissed as "academic".
"AN AFFRONT TO KHAMENEI"
Khamenei ultimately calls the shots in Iran, where the president can only influence policy, not decide it.
A former officer of Iran's elite Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC), Ahmadinejad relies on Iran's devout poor, who felt neglected by past governments and helped sweep him to power in 2005. However, his popularity in Iran remains in question.
"Ahmadinejad's faction is still alive. He enjoys the support of the poor and lower-income in the cities," said Leylaz.
Rouhani and his allies have criticized Ahmadinejad's free-spending policies for fueling inflation and accuse him of wasting Iran's oil revenues.
Ahmadinejad's critics say his fiery anti-Western talk helped isolate Iran diplomatically. During his term, the U.N. Security Council imposed three sets of sanctions on Iran over its nuclear program.
Rouhani, who engineered Iran's 2015 nuclear deal with world powers that secured a removal of international financial and trade sanctions against Tehran, is expected to seek re-election.
Although Rouhani won in a single round with more than 50 percent of the vote four years ago when no other candidate won more than 17 percent, he could face a more difficult campaign this time if hardliners unite against him. Many Iranians have grown impatient with the slow rate of improvement in their economic fortunes since the lifting of sanctions last year.
In a move to widen Ahmadinejad's support, his senior aide Esfandiar Rahim Mashaie in May sent a conciliatory letter to Ahmadinejad's predecessor as president, Mohammad Khatami, seen as the father of Iran's reform movement.
Insiders said if disqualified, Ahmadinejad is likely to call on his supporters to back Rouhani, whose main rival is likely to be influential hardline cleric Ebrahim Raisi, who declared his candidacy on Sunday.
"The irony is that by spoiling the conservatives' game and taking away from Raisi's voter-base, Ahmadinejad is in fact aiding Rouhani's re-election," said senior Iran analyst Ali Vaez of the International Crisis Group.
Raisi, 57, heads Astan Qods Razavi, an organization in charge of a multibillion-dollar religious foundation that manages donations to Iran's holiest Shi'ite Muslim shrine in the northeastern city of Mashhad.
"Ahmadinejad knows full well that his candidacy is an affront to Khamenei who had publicly barred him from running," said Vaez. "Disqualifying Ahmadinejad is hard, but not impossible."

Peterborough screenwriter Carley Smale's new movie 'Snowed-Inn Christmas' premieres in December
She will also be offering an 11-week screenwriting course at Sadleir House in January

Peterborough filmmaker and screenwriter Carley Smale has another notch in her belt.
She wrote the screenplay for Snowed-Inn Christmas, a new comedy drama premiering on the Lifetime cable channel at 8 p.m. on Saturday, December 16th.

Filmed in Winnipeg, Snowed-Inn Christmas tells the story of two polar opposites — Jenna Hudson (played by Bethany Joy Lenz, best known for her role as Haley James Scott in the teenage drama One Tree Hill) and Kevin Jenner (played by Andrew Walker) — working for the same online publication in New York City. As neither have plans for Christmas, they both volunteer for a special writing assignment.
On their way to the assignment, a snowstorm forces their plane to land in the town of Santa Claus, Indiana (yes, that's an actual town). Soon, Jenna and Kevin find themselves working together to save the town's historic town inn, run by Carol and Christopher Winters (played by Belinda Montgomery and John B. Lowe). As Jenna and Kevin overcome their differences, they also rediscover the magic of Christmas. With the inn's fate in jeopardy and the sudden return of someone from Jenna's past, Carol and Christopher lend a helping hand to bring Jenna and Kevin together.
"The idea came to me during a car ride through the country with my dear friends Katelyn and Chris James," Carley recalls. "We were spitballing ideas back and forth and the title 'Snowed In' was thrown out. I thought if it was spelled with the extra 'n' to make it 'Snowed Inn' it could be a really cute Christmas idea. The plot came easily for me once I had that title."

Carley grew up in Peterborough as an avid writer and obsessive movie watcher. After graduating from Crestwood Secondary School, she decided to move to Toronto to attend Humber College to study film and media when she was 19 years old.
While at Humber, she became an intern at a Toronto production company that made TV movies. Once she graduated from film school, the company hired her as as a development associate and writer for TV movies.

"I started writing movie treatments for various networks like the Hallmark Channel, Lifetime, and Nickelodeon," she says. "Eventually a Christmas idea of mine sold and I became the director of development for all the Christmas content."
At 24 years old, Carley's first produced screenplay, The Christmas Parade, premiered on the Hallmark Channel with high ratings in Canada, the United States, and Europe.
She also wrote and directed her first feature film in 2014 entitled Cold Season, which won Best No-Budget Feature at the 2015 Toronto Independent Film Festival. The movie went on to have international premieres in both New York City and Berlin with high praise. In December 2015, her original story concept entitled On the 12th Day of Christmas premiered on the Hallmark Channel and was the #1 TV movie of the weekend, with 5.4 million viewers.
In 2015, Carley decided to strike out on her own and pursue writing full time. She emailed a three-page proposal to her parents to ask permission to move back home for a year.
"They were supportive enough to accept my offer," she laughs. "They even helped me transform my brother's old room into my new writing office."

She wrote two screenplays that year, one of which was "Snowed Inn". Her agent loved it and sent the screenplay to Lifetime, and the network gave the production the green light in March.
"It was one of the best phone calls I've ever received," Carley says.
As the screenwriter, Carley was on set during production of the film in Winnipeg this past September. Her mother Wendy came with her "which made it really special."
"The director, Gary Yates, really took me under his wing and made sure I was a part of the process," Carley says. "He had me writing extra dialogue for the actors, making decisions about various props, and let me sit beside him during shooting to make sure if I had any comments or suggestions I could tell him.
"He wanted to make sure the story was being told the way I imagined it. It was incredibly kind of him."

As well as the December 16th premiere on Lifetime, Snowed-Inn Christmas will premiere in Canada on the W Network at 7 p.m. on Sunday, December 17th. A director's cut will also be broadcast on Lifetime at 8 p.m. on Monday, December 18th.
As for Carley, in addition to her writing endeavours, she is a volunteer at The Warming Room, which is having its annual Christmas Party at The Venue Peterborough at 7 p.m. on Sunday, December 17th, featuring live music Kate Suhr, Melissa Payne, Kate Brioux, Silver Lining, Paper Shakers, and Eric Brandon.
Carley is also preparing to teach an 11-week "Screenwriting 101" course beginning on either Wednesday, January 10th or Thursday, January 11th. Each class will take place from 7 to 9 p.m.
"I will go through the steps on how to write your own feature-length screenplay," Carley explains. "I'll teach formatting, three-act structure, plot points, character development, how to pitch, etc. By the end, everyone will complete the first act of their own movie script."
For more information about the course, email Carley at carleysmale23@gmail.com.

Cool and crisp, this chilled soup of Spanish origin is a refreshing fat free way to get lots of vegetables and fiber. Peppers and tomatoes are a great source of vitamin C–more in just a small bowl than in an orange.
Chop 1 cucumber and 9 tomatoes. Combine chopped cucumber, tomatoes, 1/2 cup pepper, 2 tablespoons green onions, broth, vegetable juice and thyme in food processor or blender; process until pureed (if necessary do in 2 batches). Pour into fine wire strainer set over large bowl. Rub back of spoon over bottom of strainer until all that remains are vegetable skins and seeds; discard. Skim foam from juice. Add vinegar and hot pepper sauce.
Chop remaining cucumber and 3 tomatoes. Combine with remaining 1/2 cup pepper and green onions. Add vegetables to pureed mixture. Cover and chill thoroughly 2 hours or up to 24 hours. Top with olives. Garnish with cheese and capers, if desired. Serve with whole wheat rolls.


The entire executive will compile and run under Windows without modification, and additionally requires the module 'ExecWin.c' which defines Windows-specific functionality.
The Windows-specific file has been designed for compilation under Microsoft Visual C/C++, although it may work with other Windows C compilers.
The executive and application must be compiled and linked using the multithreaded C libraries (a non-default option in Microsoft C/C++).
The execAppIdle() function must call the execSafeCpuIdle() function, because shutdown of the executive is performed from this function (and it also allows the proper yielding of execution in the Windows pre-emptive multitasking environment). Without this, the executive will not function properly under Windows.
The execAppCurrentTick(), execAppResyncTimer() functions and the equivalent of the timer interrupt routine is implemented within the Windows module and should not be defined in the application (use #ifndef _WIN32 in the embedded application code to prevent any embedded application-provided versions of these from being compiled under Windows). The size of the timer tick (in integral multiples of 100 nanoseconds) is assigned when starting up the executive under Windows, and thus an application designed for embedded use may run in a simulated environment under Windows in real time. (Note that the timer system under Windows 95, and subsequent DOS-based versions of Windows, may be using with 18ms DOS timer interrupt. Although cumulative errors may be minimal, precise short time delays may not be achievable).
Use the execWinStart() and execWinQuit() functions to start and stop the executive. The executive may be started and stopped on multiple occasions during the run time of a program, and each time the executive is started, it completely re-initialises itself.
Once started, the executive runs in a background thread. This means that the foreground part of the program, which started it, behaves towards it as if it were an interrupt routine. Therefore, from the foreground thread (typically consisting of Windows GUI event handling functions), only use functions which are safe to be called from within interrupt routines, such as execPostEvent(), unless the entire executive is explicitly locked.
The executive may be locked and unlocked using execWinLockExec() and execWinUnLockExec(). Locking the executive waits until the executive is idling before locking out the executive's thread. The executive's thread is then blocked until the executive is unlocked.
Only one instance of the executive may run at any one time, and calling execWinStart() multiple times without corresponding calls to execWinQuit() will have no effect.
If VCONST (variable constants) is defined in the compile options, then the executive may be re-configured at run time. Clearly, it is inadvisable to alter the structure of the application, which runs under the executive, while the executive is running.
When running under Windows, the executive additionally requires the application to provide the function execAppFinish(). This is called as the last item when the executive shuts down, after all outstanding events have been processed.
This function is used to lock the executive thread so that another thread can safely access any variables belonging to an application running under the executive.
This function waits until the executive is idling before locking the thread and returning. If the executive is continually processing events, then this function will never return.
For each call of this function, there must be a corresponding call to execWinUnLockExec(), otherwise the executive will be permanently locked out and will also never exit safely.
Returns: true if it succeeded or false if it failed. It will fail an instance of the executive is already running or if any of the Windows resources used by the executive fail to be created.
This function starts the executive in a background thread in the Windows environment.
Setting a tick size of zero will allocate a 1 millisecond timer tick.
Setting a stack size of zero will allocate a default stack size, which will be the same as the main foreground application's stack size.
Setting a priority of zero will select 'normal' priority which is the default thread priority under the process priority of the current application. Use the appropriate Windows manifest constants for thread priority assignment.
Returns: true if it succeeded or false if it failed. It will fail if the executive is not running.
This function causes the executive to shut down in an orderly fashion. Firstly, the timer thread shuts down so that no more timer events are posted, and then all events are processed, before the executive itself finally exits.
If the timeout time is reached before the executive has fully shutdown, its thread is immediately terminated, and various items in the system associated with the thread may be left in an indeterminate state. Therefore, timing out should be considered as a very last resort, and the timeout should be very long or INFINITE (manifest constant).
This function unlocks the executive thread and allows its event processing to continue.
It should be called after a corresponding call to execWinLockExec().

Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night Release Confirmed for June
The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening for Nintendo Switch is a remake of the 1993 Game Boy classic. Featuring the Color Dungeon from the 1998 release on Game Boy Color, the Switch remake is the complete package of the past two releases. Developed by GREZZO, the developer has remade Ocarina of Time and Majora's Mask on the 3DS in the past decade. With Link's Awakening, however, this remake features an orchestrated soundtrack with gorgeous, high-definition visuals.
The story of Link's Awakening initially took place after The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past. Following the battle with Ganon, Link went on a journey. Upon his return to Hyrule, a storm struck and he wound up shipwrecked. Now on Koholint Island, Link must find his way back home by awakening the Wind Fish.
Link's Awakening doesn't tell the tale of the Triforce or saving the world. Rather, Link's journey takes him around a mysterious island to awaken a deity. In doing so, Link bonds with the islanders, among them being Marin, the girl who rescued him on the beach.
At first, the journey itself doesn't feature much narrative aside from the Owl's dialogue. Halfway through the game, however, the plot becomes more complicated. You'll learn the hard truth of your actions and the consequences they bear. And the ending does a great job of conveying these feelings when it's all said and done.
Link's Awakening recaptures the art style used in the Game Boy classic. Instead of the cel-shaded style used in Four Swords, Wind Waker, and Minish Cap, Nintendo opted to use the dot-eyed style instead. In turn, the new HD visuals convey a beautiful landscape teeming with life and animation never before possible in the series.
Note the lush detail in the bushes and grasslands and the beautiful lighting in the dark caverns of Face Shrine. Also note the blur feature in the top and bottom of the screen. I've encountered few frameskips, but they resolved themselves quickly.
The new soundtrack features music arranged by Ryo Nagamatsu, composer of A Link Between Worlds. Featuring live instruments, you get to hear what each of the island instruments actually sound like when you collect them. The music features the entire soundtrack in all of its glory now remixed with new instrumentals. The aesthetics themselves are among the most impressive on the Switch and are alone worth the trip to revisit Koholint Island.
Perhaps one element that really brought the game to life was the character models. Modeled similarly to characters in A Link Between Worlds, it's like looking at them through a new lens. The bosses in particular feel like they're much more lively now.
Check out Cuphead Review for Nintendo Switch.
The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening plays like a 1:1 remake of the original. The developers took cues from Ocarina and Majora's Mask to keep the game as close to the original as possible at its core. The combat, items, and puzzle-solving remain true to the original. One noticeable development to combat is shielded enemies, however. You cannot hit them unless you shield their attack first!
Among the biggest improvements includes the new control system. Your Sword, Shield, and Pegasus Shoes stay permanently mapped to several buttons. This means you will use X and Y for your items. This cuts down heavily on item-switching and becomes a massive convenience to the player.
Additionally, you can now warp to multiple warp points found in the game. Using your Ocarina, play Mambo's Mambo and you will be able to warp to several locations in the game. This is another great convenience for the player compared to the warp system of old. Also, the song also lets you warp to the beginning of a dungeon.
Finally, maps featured a complete rework. They're much more detailed and you can add pins for placement. As Link's Awakening features some of the most confusing dungeons in the series, this becomes a massive convenience for getting through Eagle's Tower and Turtle Rock.
The only issue I had was the pacing at times. Without the right item, you had to go around and back to Mabe Village to collect something you may have missed. There is still a bit of back-and-forth. But the new improvements help tremendously.
Considering all the improvements, Link's Awakening is not just a remake of a great game. It is the definitive version of the classic. Reworked with modern improvements while keeping the spirit of the original game, it is the quintessential Zelda experience for veterans and newcomers alike. The well-balanced difficulty will invite players of all kinds while the Hero Mode – unlocked at the start – will be the perfect way to entice challengers.
You can also build dungeons with Dampe the Gravekeeper! However, if dungeon-building isn't your thing, you can skip this feature entirely. While it's probably the newest element to the game, it doesn't offer much of an impact on the game either way. Unfortunately, it came at the cost of the Photo Booth sidequest from the Game Boy Color version.
With that being said, I still prefer A Link Between Worlds. But it's also since it's a more modern game with more complex puzzles and elements. Plus the dungeons flow smoothly and there's not as much pacing back and forth. Granted, it's not by a wide margin and I find both games to be fantastic. However, I hope GREZZO and Nintendo will take these into consideration should they ever remake The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Ages and Seasons one day.
With that said, The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening is the perfect addition to the Nintendo Switch library. Any Zelda fan will enjoy this beautiful remake. And if this is your first Zelda, you'll find a great place to start here on Koholint Island.
We hope you enjoyed our review of The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening. What entices you most about the remake? Let us know in the comments below!
Definitive Edition.
The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening for Switch provides the definitive experience of a classic. More buttons means better controls and less item switching. Plus the additional warp points and map elements make traveling easier than ever before. As a classic Zelda title, you cannot go wrong with this wonderful game.
Gorgeous visuals and audio recapture the feeling for a modern experience.
Challenging title great for all comers.
QoL improvements include new controls, more warp points, and revamped map system.
Still a ton of back and forth.

Posts tagged "what blogging means to me"
I started blogging in 2008. My first post was on a Blog called The Glass Half Full, and my first post was on September 27, 2008. That was 6 years ago! When I look back at those first posts, they are interesting. Actually, they aren't. They are pretty boring. I was just writing to write, and I didn't know anything about monetizing, or an audience, or "how" to write. I just wrote. I think I enjoyed it. I never really got too personal, and I didn't many many years ago. Most of my blogs were very short, only a couple of paragraphs, and they were quite sporadic. I didn't write very often at all.
Then I met a woman at the church I belonged to and she wanted to write together, so we collaborated. She had been blogging for awhile also, and had read books on blogging and websites on blogging, and despite whatever happened that was not positive I will say that she definitely taught me a lot about the mechanics of blogging. It was her idea to apply to BlogHer. She maintained the blogsite with backgrounds, and themes. We both paid for the domain name and any the expense. We had weekly "meetings" to plan and collaborate and share ideas. We actually worked very well together when it came to business. In the end it was a personal issue that drive us apart, and to be honest it was me who left her. I needed to walk away and that is a story that I will never tell because it involves confidential conversations I had and situations I was in while I was an employee at a church. However, she did teach me a lot so when I went back out on my own and created this bog I had much more knowledge about what to do. So for what it is worth, thank you for that Susan.
When I started this blog, I did populate it at the beginning with blog posts I had written at the other site because I was emotionally drained. I had no will to write, and just needed some time to heal. But that has changed over the last two years I have been blogging on my own. My first blog post here On Coffee, Clutter and Chaos was on October 17, 2012. Since then I have blogged 151 times. I wrote 48 times in 2012 between Oct 17 and Dec 31. I wrote 63 times in 2013. Of those a couple were featured, a couple were syndicated and I was enjoying writing. Then something happened.
I didn't write between 3 December 2013 and 31 Jan 2014. When I did write again I was really wondering if I should continue or not. My mother had sharply criticized my writing saying what I wrote was "too personal" and "why did I have to write so much" about LGBT stuff? She thought I was being dishonest because I never talked about the father of my kids and how he and I were married for a long time, that I only seemed to focus on my life now with Karol. I must say that really deflated me. But when I out that post on Facebook I received a lot of positive comments, so I decided to continue.
However, apparently I was not feeling completely convinced, because I only wrote three more times between 31 Jan and 1 June. Then something happened. I was leaving work and driving home and just happened to put on my local National Public Radio station, WHRO, and a man was talking about a book he had written. He was a comic and just happened to be blogging. He really wanted to write a book, but also wanted to be paid, so he decided to just write every day for 100 days to see what happened.
During the 100 days of blogging, someone read his work and offered to publish a book if he wrote it. Now I have to apologize, even after researching it, I cannot find the name of the author or the book. But I decided that I would try it. I would write for 100 days and see if it took me anywhere or I had any monetary success, or if I even still wanted to write after I was finished.
Well, life happens, and I was not able to write every day, but I did find out something interesting. I found out what blogging means to me. I found that I began to really enjoy writing. I had ideas all the time. I even out a recorder on the "front page" of my phone so I could just hit a button and record ideas when they came to me. For some reason I think about a lot of topics while I am driving….. I put a white board on the wall next to my desk so I could write down ides I got while I was balancing my checkbook or doodling around on Facebook.
But more important I found that I started NEEDING to write. That it became soothing and cathartic. That if I was not able to write I became cranky and felt compelled to get to my computer so I could write.
This week was no exception. My bff the Newyorican needed my help this week, and since she is my sister of course I went to her aid. But in doing so I missed my "writing time" which is in the morning as I sip my coffee. This seems to be the best time for me to write because my mind is fresh, and the boys are sleeping or at school, and the house is quiet. It is before classes, or homework, or other distractions. I put on Pandora, and I write. I noticed I was cranky because I missed writing. Hmmm, I didn't expect that.
So what I have found is that to me blogging and writing have become a release. a way to get things out that are swirling around in my head. To ask questions and put things out there that are personal, and sensitive, and possibly divisive. That may upset people, or cause some folks to get mad at me. Or possibly cause someone to think, or learn something new. I have written about my concerns about racial issues, about lesbian bed death, about my kids, and about my partner. I love to write and have found something that feeds me emotionally mentally and spiritually.
Jessica Hinton really says what I feel in my heart. Thank you Jessica for these words!

Love That Book! First Chapters
~ Start Reading Now
Actor David Oyelowo [Selma] on the Importance of the Long Game
Posted by Book Lover in Hollywood, Non-Fiction
acting, acting school, David Oyelowo, Golden Globes, Jr. . Acting advice, Martin Luther King, Selma
Interstellar. A Most Violent Year. Lee Daniels' the Butler. Jack Reacher. Lincoln. The Help. Rise of the Planet of the Apes. Is there anyone who doesn't want to work with this actor? But not that many years ago, David Oyelowo's phone wasn't ringing. "Acting jobs seem to follow the pattern of buses in New York City," he says. "None come at all, then six arrive at once."
[If you're serious about acting or succeeding in any field] you can't just turn up from a small town where you were the big fish in the little pond and expect to make it in the big city. Good looks and the fact you played Annie in school will not get you very far in Hollywood, New York or London. You must train! The people I see having success and long careers are people who, in any profession, put in the time. There's a lack of respect for what goes into being a good actor. A lot of people think that if you can learn lines and say lines without fumbling in front of a camera and you work out a lot, you're good to go. It's not true. You may get one opportunity or two; but you will be found out quickly, and you will not have a long career.
Keep your eyes on the long game. It can actually be detrimental to get your biggest opportunities early on. You want to build slowly. If you do that great, big, successful thing, the Hollywood machine will want you to do that same thing again and again and again.
After I played Henry VI [at the RSC in England], I began being referred to as a classical Shakespearean actor. That's a fantastic label for any twenty-four-year-old actor. But the thing I needed to do straightaway was challenge that perception. So I took a TV show, a spy show called MI-5.
When I was very young–and this was a sort of naive audacity coming through, but it was absolutely right–I told my agents, "Put me up for things that are not race-specific."
They said to me, "But casting directors stipulate! They say they want 'young, black, twenty-two, rough around the edges,' whatever…" And I said, "I'll go up for those, absolutely. But if they say, 'young, white, twenty-two,' put me up for that role, also." Some agents actually laughed at me when I said this. I didn't go with them. I held out until I found an agent who believed in me enough to put me up for many kinds of parts. It paid off, because one of the roles he put me up for was Orlando in Kenneth Branagh's As You Like It, and I got it!
Now, I'm not saying I won't play race-specific roles. But if it's going to be a caricature, if it's going to be about being a gangster or a criminal or a stereotypical thing, then you will not find me anywhere near it. If it's a three-dimensional character who is saying something other than "I am black" in every scene, I'll do it. It's very important for me as an actor to continue to challenge the perception of the audience. You've got to keep the employers guessing as well; that's when they'll consider you for anything and everything. I remember hearing that early in Denzel Washington's career, he said to his representation, "I want you to send me all the scripts that Harrison Ford turns down. Those are the things I want to do." And it's paid huge dividends for him.

If I got the lead in some kind of studio tent-pole type film, it may well be a great payday, may be fantastic exposure, may be fun–and I love action. I love getting to run around and do boy stuff. But it's never going to come close to playing Martin Luther King, Jr., just in terms of the levels of challenge and depths of emotion and soul-searching and research and interviewing of extraordinary people. That's the zenith. That's the absolute height in what you aspire to do. But having said that, there is never a role to which I give anything less than 100 percent of my attention and ability. I will never coast, because I've seen actors who do, and you can tell, especially if they've done good work before. You watch them, and you can see that they don't want to be there. They're phoning it in. This job was a paycheck. I never want to be that guy.
For me, what works is doing the research on the character, reading the books, taking the dialect classes, reading or listening to interviews, just jamming it all into my brain, then practice, practice, practice–and let it go. On the day you're filming, you trust the the combination of your preparation and the other actors, the director, and being there in the costume in the right setting, hopefully, will allow the action to happen.
For me, this process is all built on theatrical training. In the theater, you tend to have a minimum of four weeks rehearsal, so you know the character back to front, and you have a muscle memory of what the character feels like so that you can walk from the wings onto the stage and be taken over by the character. And that, by and large, is how I approach film. Do the work beforehand, and do it rigorously. You'll never find someone more obsessively voracious than I am in terms of imbibing as much information as I can before I am on set; and then, by the time I'm there, there's no question in the world you would be able to ask me that I won't be able to ask in character.
