According to Tehran Bureau and other sources:
  • Major clashes throughout Tehran and East Tehran

  • Certain western embassies (don't know which ones) are taking in wounded Iranians to protect them from the Basiji

  • Mousavi is telling people to hit the streets in the event he is arrested

  • Gunfire at Gisha Street, one young girl dead

  • Intel services trying to use Twitter to find protest organizers

  • Thousands protesting at Enghelab Square

  • In some locations security forces are backing off rather than confront demonstrators

  • Elite riot police out in force, backed up by Basiji and regular police

#7  Justrand, that should be "his contempt for the Iranian people". He has lots of respect for Iran. He likes dictators.

#6  Obama had a STAFFER write a statement which that STAFFER handed to the press.

Obama, KING of the camera, couldn't be bothered to make a LIVE or even TAPED statement.

His contempt for Iran is contained in the method of this "statement" being delivered.
