Taking regular calls from within Iran. Tehran, Shiraz, Esfahan opposition television is reporting demonstrations inside of Iran.
Persian BBC and Iranian student agency have reported the demonstrations started 2 hours ago.
Demonstrators are in the thousands. Regime has sent out forces to disperse, but so far it's consistent.
Will keep you up to date.

Not long ago, someone posted an upcoming date for demonstrations including a national student demonstration in Iran. Is this the start or does anyone have access to the date from that posting?
To: freedom44
The big stuff is almost exactly a week from today. JULY 9th, keep that date in mind! It's gonna be BIG.

I have heard much about the protests scheduled for July 9th, but what was scheduled for next week?
Does anyone know of current news sources on today's demonstrations?

"Student caller from Tehran is saying this is a purely symbolic of things to come."That's what I was thinking...preview of July 9.
Thanks for the ping. Things are going to get very interesting. Keep these reports coming. Thanks!

Hopefully, not. But, I don't think the mullahs are just going to roll over...

Or maybe the Iranian version of the 1956 Hungarian Revolt, or the 1991 Iraqi Shiite/Kurd rebellion?
Time will tell.

I doubt it. The regime's forces, mostly Arab, would be stupid to fire on the majority Persian Iranians. If they do, the regular Iranian military and even the IRGC (Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps) will move to defend the people from the foreign mercenaries, a' la the Bastille.
