From National Review's "The Corner" section, here's an update to Kathryn Lopez's original report posted yesterday under the title, "Iran Erupts?":

MORE RE: IRAN [KJL]

Secondhand again:

ISNA - The Islamic Students News Agency, which is to a large extent affiliated with the Islamic Republic, who does have students roaming the streets in Tehran and reports pretty regularly about street events, but with an eye to government sensors, also reported the events in the streets of Tehran.

According to them also, many parts of Tehran were ablaze, with sounds of explosions heard all over town.

The ISNA article (link below) mainly reports from hospitals where casualties of the fires and explosions have been reported and decries the will of those who are disrupting the peaceful celebration of a Persian tradition! But it basically does report on the unrest and the explosions all over Tehran. This from a source that is pretty close to the government!!!

ISNA report on Tehran events (in Farsi).

I am hearing that one can still hear the sounds of fireworks and small explosions all over Tehran.
