Time for a live thread to keep track of all the news in Iran- it's getting tough to keep up!
and this tweet from almost.at
RT from Iran: Calling all Iranians to use Tor, anonymity online to protect selves http://www.torproject.org/ #iranelection
# less than 10 seconds ago from web RT Iranian government is blocking #iranelection tags. Migrate to #iran9 hashtag instead
Thanks...I’m slowly catching on
“Especially proud of the Iranian women shown in photos.”
There was a great photo on the front page of the Washington Post, surprise, showing 4 men beating a man with rubber hoses or battons, and a woman, in islamic cover, standing about 3 feet away, waving her hands and screaming her anger. She was wearing eyeglasses.

This is the perfect time to bomb Iran’s nuclear facilities and knock out the mullah’s communication networks.
Pile on NOW..they won’t be able to handle it all from without and within at the same time. USA and Israel together just attack the nuke sites and missle launchers. Oh but Obummer gutless wonder is POTUS.... just my little fantasy gone awry!
“What are politics like inside the Iranian military? At Tienanmen Chinese had to use distant troops to fire on students.”
I have run across several reports, Twitter and others, to the effect that Arabic rather than Persian has been heard among police. It is suggested that regime is importing Lebanese Hesbolla or Palestinians to do the dirty work. Does anyone have more definative information on this?
That would be a disaster. Many workers at those nuclear facilities are pro-reform, and the communication network in Iran is the most significant factor in letting the resistance coordinate in the first place.
If this doesn't end well, the Persian people need to have the resources to regroup and try again.
Isn’t tomorrow called for a national protest strike day? That would be an opportune time to bomb their nukes with less chance for civilian casualties.
Confirmed or not?
RT from Iran: my dorms are being raided again plain clothe are coming with guns and threats pray please #iran9 #gr88
Ok, so the guy can't spell, through=throw. Sounds rough over there.
A different leaked Interior Ministry report stated the following statistics:
49 million eligible voters
42 million actual voters
19 million Mousavi
13 million Karubi, the most moderate condidate
6 million nut job
3.5 million the conservative, don’t remember name
This was reiterated by one of the comments in your “good pics” link. This person also suggested that one reason for rushing the election results, rather than following the law and waiting 3 days to give results, is that they were afraid of a runoff between Mousavi and Karubi since Mousavi did not get over 50%. The commenter favored a second suggestion that they just did not want to admit how badly nutjob had done.
And give the government the perfect excuse to insist that people stay inside to avoid any radiological threat. Not to mention destroying a perfectly good nuclear facility that the new secular government would otherwise inherit.
Besides, who would do the bombing? Any attempt by Israel to do it would unite the people under the existing tyrannical government, and the United States government seems to even lack the will to give the Resistance verbal moral support.
The fact is that the existing government of the United States is too incompetent to act in any constructive way. Short of maybe preventing any outside assistance by the regime's foreign supporters (and I doubt it has the will to even accomplish that trivial task), it needs to stay out of the conflict.
I’ve seen that one as well. Seem to be conflicting reports on the actual numbers, but it’s clear Musavi got the majority.
bump
Have any of you seen this one yet? Attack on the Basij headquarters with them shooting into the crowd.:
