Iranian Alert -- March 17, 2004 [EST]-- IRAN LIVE THREAD -- Americans for Regime Change in Iran

The Iranian Student Movement Up To The Minute Reports ^ | 3.17.2004 | DoctorZin

[DoctorZIn]

Important Update!!!!

The Last 24 hours were intense. As the student movement reported, "What's going on this evening has never been seen and the night is just at its start and will be very long for the regime."

Although it is now midnight on the east coast of the US, it is now morning in Iran. I expect to post numerous reports on the celebrations/demonstrations later in the day and expecting more photos.

In the mean time I will continue to report the other major news on Iran.

I will try to keep you informed.

The US media almost entirely ignores news regarding the Islamic Republic of Iran. As Tony Snow of the Fox News Network has put it, “this is probably the most under-reported news story of the year.” But most American’s are unaware that the Islamic Republic of Iran is NOT supported by the masses of Iranians today. Modern Iranians are among the most pro-American in the Middle East.

There is a popular revolt against the Iranian regime brewing in Iran today. Starting June 10th of this year, Iranians have begun taking to the streets to express their desire for a regime change. Most want to replace the regime with a secular democracy. Many even want the US to over throw their government.

The regime is working hard to keep the news about the protest movement in Iran from being reported. Unfortunately, the regime has successfully prohibited western news reporters from covering the demonstrations. The voices of discontent within Iran are sometime murdered, more often imprisoned. Still the people continue to take to the streets to demonstrate against the regime.

In support of this revolt, Iranians in America have been broadcasting news stories by satellite into Iran. This 21st century news link has greatly encouraged these protests. The regime has been attempting to jam the signals, and locate the satellite dishes. Still the people violate the law and listen to these broadcasts. Iranians also use the Internet and the regime attempts to block their access to news against the regime. In spite of this, many Iranians inside of Iran read these posts daily to keep informed of the events in their own country.

This daily thread contains nearly all of the English news reports on Iran. It is thorough. If you follow this thread you will witness, I believe, the transformation of a nation. This daily thread provides a central place where those interested in the events in Iran can find the best news and commentary. The news stories and commentary will from time to time include material from the regime itself. But if you read the post you will discover for yourself, the real story of what is occurring in Iran and its effects on the war on terror.

I am not of Iranian heritage. I am an American committed to supporting the efforts of those in Iran seeking to replace their government with a secular democracy. I am in contact with leaders of the Iranian community here in the United States and in Iran itself.

If you read the daily posts you will gain a better understanding of the US war on terrorism, the Middle East and why we need to support a change of regime in Iran. Feel free to ask your questions and post news stories you discover in the weeks to come.

If all goes well Iran will be free soon and I am convinced become a major ally in the war on terrorism. The regime will fall. Iran will be free. It is just a matter of time.

Hi.. thanks for posting. Be safe! God protect you!

[DoctorZIn]

We have heard several reports from inside of Iran that "What's going on this evening has never been seen and the night is just at its start and will be very long for the regime."

Is this consistent with what you are hearing or have seen?

[Khashayar]

Sure, I saw fires and big explosions sounds in Tehran last night.
I didnt get much news from other cities, I am sorry but the things happened in Tehran was the same through out the country and it was a nation wide action.

[McGavin999]

Glad to see you are here. Have you heard anything? What's going on?

[Khashayar]

Yes.

[Khashayar]

Thanks... I have heard about clashes but also witnessed some in down town.

[McGavin999]

The mad mullahs are trying to make it sound like it's just a big party and they've authorized it. We all know that they had little choice in the matter. You said one was dead, was it Iranian or police?

[King Prout]

Salaam alaicum,

Basic questions:
1. Is the revolt ongoing or paused?
2. Casualties?
3. Are any territories free of the tyranny black-robes at this time?

A comment, one I am reluctant to make for it shall mark me, but I am compelled:

Your Maadi walks among you, but knows himself not. Look to Yazd within three years. Khusrau Anushirvan's son will know himself, there and then. Guard his woman as you would your own mother, for she shall be.

Don't ask me for an explanation - I have none for you.

[Khashayar]

The government has banned this ceremony for 25 years and they couldn't stop people from what they wanted.
**
One people got killed last night but I think there are more.

[McGavin999]

You mean this is the first time they've held this in a very public way? I know they couldn't stop it being celebrated privately, but is this the first time so many have publically celebrated it?

[hosepipe]

I'm all ears.. dude... Cool....
I love the smell of freedom in the morning...

[Khashayar]

Salaam alaicum

Dorood my friend, How are you doing?

well, I am gonna answer your questions:

1- It is paused in Tehran for now

2- I heard from confirmed sources that dozens injured badly and one got killed

3- No. Soon to do that and consequences could be very bad.

I am sorry, I didnt understand your remarks.

[DoctorZIn]

I believe the regime authorized the celebration when they saw they couldn't stop it.

Is it true that young women were removing their scarves in protest?

I had heard such reports.

[Khashayar]

Not very public but it was the first time they let people run this formally. However they warned people about any riot or slogans against the regime.

[DoctorZIn]

There was a photo on Payvand website that seemed to confirm this....

[McGavin999]

OK, now for a personal question. Did you jump over the fire?

[Khashayar]

It is true, at least I saw two girls without head scarves out there.

[King Prout]

I'm fine, if up waaaay too late on a worknight

It seems the time is not yet. Be patient. Three years is not long, and the process has begun.

Not understanding the comments is probably for the best.

[Khashayar]

lol, I always do.

[Khashayar]

You can help us by one vote for Mr. Bush in 2004 election.
