"The current political, social and security situation has entered a sensitive and decisive phase, which is more important than the election,"

Rezaei said in a letter late Tuesday to the Secretary of the Guardian Council, Ayatollah AhmadJannati.

"I feel it is my responsibility to encourage myself and others to control the current situation," Rezaei said, "I announce that I renounce following up on my complaints."
