Deadly clashes rocked, on Sunday and for the 2nd consecutive day, the northern city of Fereydoon-Kenar located by the Caspian sea in the Mazandaran province. Several more protesters have been killed, raising the death toll to more than 8, and hundreds of other wounded and arrested.

The regime's heliported special forces sent from Esfahan and Tehran have opened fire and for the first time used of shot guns in order to break the popular demos leaded by the city's maverick women who came into the streets in support of their fathers, brothers and husbands. Several of them were seen laying on the ground and beaten up after the regime forces opened the charge.

Noise of sporadic shooting were heard all night along and several members of the Pasdaran elite force and the Bassij have been shot to death or captured in ambushes made by the residents. Several security patrol cars have been destroyed by Molotov cocktails thrown from roofs.

More official buildings, including the the home of the supreme leader's representative, have been set ablaze as young masked protesters retaliated to the regime forces extreme brutality and use of lethal force. Banks, Security HQ and several official buildings have been heavily damaged.

The situation is very tense and the regime forces have blocked all accesses to the city in order to avoid the spread of riots to the neighboring cities, such as, Babolsar, Babol and especially Amol where sporadic clashes have happened in the last days.

Revolution in Iran: The complete news blackout on the democrat party controlled mainstream media makes me thankful for the Internet.

If only we could help the people in Iran rebel. One would think with us in both Iraq and Afghanistan we would be able to lend a hand.

Maybe since they're shooting women they'll start covering it.

The only good Iranian Revolutionary Guard is a dead Revolutionary Guard.

Good hunting to the Iranian people. Nothing like a good revolt to clean out that nation. There should be a Mulah hanging from every tree. Just like they did to anyone they did not like.

"If only we could help the people in Iran rebel."

Just a guess, but I think that's exactly what we've been doing, covertly -- advising; smuggling arms, money and supplies to them; putting the diplomatic and economic squeeze on the government. We can't go in there until after the election, not unless Iran gives us no choice.
