Apparently the mullahs and their goon squads were in for a surprise when on Sunday, someone opened fire on them in Khorramshahr, 400 miles southwest of Tehran, as they rolled in to shut down a protest over locals getting poisoned by untreated water. It's an area with a large Arabic population out near the Iraqi border. The gunfire came back at them.
Mowing down is now going two ways, and it's clear the regime is scared - their official state media said the protestors only threw stones and garbage. Well, no. There's a spectacular, well-shot video on Twitter here, showing a protestor firing back on the Iranian state goons, and it's starting to attract the notice of the news - here, here, here and here. Breitbart (the last link) says four were killed. The mullahs are saying it was one.
Gives you the flavor of the propaganda war going on, and the mullahs' desperate and failing effort to suppress the news. Scared they are, indeed. And this is likely to get worse.
Now, it was just one person with a gun, and we have occasionally seen that sort of thing in both Cuba ad Venezuela. It may mean nothing and go away. But the fact that the news is on it serves as a multiplier effect and is likely to encourage more action. That's different from what's going on in Cuba or Venezuela where such events are found only in local news briefs. Meanwhile, as we have reported here, there is a big conference of Iran democracy activists over in Paris and it's being closely watched by all sorts of Iranian exiles, as noted in the tele-presence of Albanians here. You can BET the Iranians are watching, too.
There's a stage for change building.

What difference can one gun make against an army ? / sarcasm
Would love to see lots and lots of those robed yomama barbarians swingin’ in the breeze after the Mussolini treatment.
I can only imagine what the propaganda will be like coming out of Iran and the Obama/Jarrett deep state.
Hey ValJar, you paying attention?
All your hard work for the Mullah’s is going up in smoke.
That goes for you too Sir Bowsalot?
Time for pay back. I hope Trump and our guys are putting arms into the hands of Iranian resistance. Give them “improvised Explosives” like Iran was sending into Iraq and Ashcanistan.
Make the bastards pay.
The author indugled in his/her wishful thinking.
Maybe some irreverent irrepressible ran some guns into this place...
The CIA operation that overthrew Mohammed Mossedegh was simply some bullhorns, a plane load of cash and weapons. That’s pretty much all it took to put the Shah in power. Iran is potentially a very powerful country... Just brittle is all.
Oh how we burned in the camps....perhaps not the Iranians.
Always the security forces achilles heel, they have to respond to a call and you know they are responding. They will be more cautious next time.
It took them a while to trust THIS president wouldn’t destroy their quest for freedom.
There.

Russia will not allow Iran to fall
Obama embraced the Arab Spring.
An uprising of the Islamic Caliph.
Will Trump embrace the “Zoro-Summer”?
Russia will not allow Iran to fall
Don’t be so sure about that.
My guess, if it was an outside agency, would be either the Saudis or Israelis
>>Venezuelans have found themselves protesting for 20 years now, in vast, vast, numbers, and the regime’s grip remains as tight as ever.<<
Exactly why we can never relax our protection of the 2nd Amendment. The people’s militia is the only thing that protects us from tyranny.
Why should ValJar Pay attention? She and her ilk will never be held accountable.
Methinks the Persians want Persia back.
Every time a mullah dies an angel gets their wings.
