Wow.

I can't get a good feel for what's actually going on in that video, but from the looks of it, the crowd was definitely in the thousands (not 200 like the government claimed), it was indeed violent as described, but it actually looks like the protesters won that fight!

From Thursday morning (US EST) (didn't see it posted anywhere) and I think it helps give an idea of why news can be slow to come out at times.

Iran Uprising Live-Blogging (Thursday June 25)

Quote:
8:14 AM ET -- An Iranian on Twitter reappears. One Iranian on Twitter who had not posted for three days returned today:

I'm only posting this to say I'm still alive & not in Tehran, I had a bad incident with Basij and couldn't use computer


Shayan's brother's fate is still unknown, Reza has been released yesterday & at hospital right now & I think Masood is safe

as soon I can walk properly again, I will go back to Tehran. probably tomorrow night

I will twitt again at night, my back & neck hurts a lot & I can't sit here anymore

sorry about no news at all in these past days, I will try my best to keep you informed again as soon as possible

American woman describes Tehran ordeal: 'I was terrified' - CNN.com

Quote:
DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (CNN) -- Inspired by images of Iranians taking to the streets to support the opposition presidential candidate, Michelle May decided to head to Tehran.

"I just felt a real need to be there with my friends, and I just wanted to be a part of what could possibly be history," May told CNN's "American Morning" on Wednesday. "So I made arrangements at the last minute."

May, who is an American and Irish national, used her Irish passport to travel to Tehran just days before the street demonstrations turned violent as Iranian authorities cracked down on those protesting the results of the June 12 election.

"I had been there two times before, and I feel very connected to the country and the people there," she said. "I have a lot of friends."

"This young man befriended me. I was trying to download CNN to find out -- this was the day after the ayatollah gave his prayer on Friday," May said.

Afterward, the man helped her hail a taxi outside the cafe to meet one of her friends for lunch, she said.

"About half an hour into that ride, the next thing I know, there are two motorbikes on either side of my taxi," she said. "He's on the back of one of them, and three big Basij guys are on the other, and they pull me over. I knew what was happening."

"I was terrified, and I immediately started screaming, saying no, no, no," May said.

The young man climbed into the taxi and told her to go with him and the three other men....

It has happened but it was A. Khatami - a conservative cleric - if I understood the twits correctly. He called for killing the "rioters".

From what I gathered on the little news trickling in from Iran, there is a major behind the scenes action going on. This idiot's call for more violence against protesters could help in the cleric revolt
