There are a few MSM news reports coming out of Iran. They confirm the demonstrations but suggest the numbers are far fewer than being reported here.
The main news reports: AFP and Reuters consistently under-report demonstrations in Iran. Perhaps this is due to their fear they will be asked to leave Iran by the regime.
All I know is that Behrooz Sour-esrafil a respected reporter on Azadi TV continues to maintain that the demonstrations had a huge turnout in spite of these news reports to the contrary.
I then heard the same thing from sources inside of Iran.
As I mentioned earlier, crowd estimates are always difficult to judge if you have ever been in a huge crowds, but the southern California based opposition TV broadcasters are getting non stop reports of huge crowds from Iranians inside of Iran.
Until today, these same broadcasters did not take Dr. Yazdi seriously, now they support his efforts.

FYI, Azadi TV, Pars TV, and XTV are all reporting that it was a huge demonstration, not the numbers being reported by the MSM.
