BREAKING NEWS! Massive Unrest in Iran following soccer victory - PLEASE SPREAD THE NEWS
DoctorZin’s SPECIAL REPORT!
Iran won an important soccer victory that assures they will play for the World Cup.
This has led to massive celebrations and unrest throughout Iran.
The pro-democracy forces in Iran make good use of such celebrations as it is difficult for security forces to manage the massive crowds.
The inability of the security forces to deal effectively with the anti-regime demonstrations only encourages other Iranians to join them.
This is likely to strengthen pro-democracy forces for the battles of the coming weeks.
The mainstream media is again largely ignoring these events.
I believe international reporters in Iran are ignoring these reports because the fear losing their press credentials.
Please spread the word so Iranian bloggers will know that the world is watching!!!Here is a sampling of our reports.
Reuters reported that, Iran Police were on Alert Before World Cup Qualifier Match.We reported that if the regime cracks down on anti-regime demonstrators it risks angering the Iranian people. If the regime does nothing, it encourages people to demonstrate. Either way, this is great news for the Iranian people.
Following the 1-0 victory people throughout Iran took to the streets.
The first reports were via live radio broadcasts:

Iranians are shouting nationalistic slogans or destroying the advertisements made by regime's candidates for the upcoming sham Presidential elections.
Then the reports came in that the Soccer celebration turned political.
This has led to clashes with the regimes security forces.
I have many more reports and will continue to post reports as they come in. It will be a long night in Iran. DoctorZin

World titles by national hockey and soccer teams tend to have a tonic quality.
BTTT
I hope you are right! The mullahs gotta go!
Exciting stuff...
Wow
PING! I remember the soccer "riots" two years ago. They had a huge effect on the regime.
Wow, this is great news! I had my hair cut by an Iranian immigrant for the first time today. She was really cute, friendly and is so hopeful that the hardline government will change soon. She's worried about her family and misses them terribly.
That's the unpleasant truth.
bump!
In Iran, a PhD means... Pizza Hut Delivery work
5/31/05 ME Times Added to 'Arab Governments and the Causes of Terrorism'. The Islamic republic, home to some of the most qualified young people in the Middle East, has been exporting its brainpower at an alarming rate - with an estimated 150,000 frustrated graduates taking flight every year. Many, over a million, have come to the US, where they become prosperous and free, and a few have setup satellite broadcastings (privately funded by Iranian expatriates), which illegally beam into Iran and which were recently blocked by Iran's buddy Cuba. You see, it isn't just the so-called 'American Culture', which is exported abroad, but the culture of any group that comes here and prospers and then returns or influences their homeland. The reason? As emphasized, the Iranians that come here are free to create wealth and keep the wealth they accumulate with their own labor - free from government intervention and with equal protection under the law. With our burdensome tax rate here (if you add up all the sales, income, SS, Medicaid, phone taxes etc..), it tells you how bad things really are in some of these other countries. So what's government like in Iran? "The government needs to prepare the ground for private sector growth to absorb the workforce, but the problem is that 80 percent of the economy is controlled by the government. The government is the biggest rival of the private sector."
The women all stayed home, too!
