From Twitter: Teheran hospitals report hundreds of wounded. In the meantime a spanixh sources quotes the police who reports on a suicide bomb in a lorry in Teheran causing 50 deaths and 167 injured.

I think you can figure out what that second story means, all by yourselves...

it is obvious that the situation is serious and the demosntarations have not been stopped yet despite a lot of violence.

The students are going against the head choppers. This is not a lot of violence. If the tear gas doesn't stop the protests they will just start hanging people in the street.

last five minutes from Twitter:

RT: hospital source - Tehran hospitals report hundreds of casualties

Helicopters pouring acid on people from the sky -

hospital source - Tehran hospitals report hundreds of casualtys

Government has shut down mobile phones. No voice line neither SMS. Trying to disconnect us from each other

Unconfirmed - The Army will not follow orders to kill the people -

“Probably CS tear gas crystals mixed in water which is why washing it off only makes it worse”

If the Iranian people can throw off the Mullahs, *everything* could change.

Potentially:

* No more nuke development and subsequent proliferation
* No more weapons and manpower seeping into Iraq
* Funding and direction for terror proxy groups cut off
* Syria would be ‘fresh out of friends’ (behave or face the wrath of Israel alone)

I’d love to see (more or less) what they had before the Mullahs come back, less the old repression. Some kind of stable, representative parliamentary republic would be fantastic- for the Iranian people, for the region, and for the rest of the world.

I was wondering how long it will take for the Military and Police to turn and join the winning side

Yes, the only funding for Mid East terror groups would then come from Saudi Arabia, the EU and the US. One would hope that we would be able to stop the latter two via some succesful elections. Saudi on the other hadn would need some forecful diplomacy....where is John Bolton?

Twitter, don’t know if it’s true, but interesting for future reference;

breathing through bandanas/cloth over face soaked with vinegar also cuts/neutralizes tear gas

Obama is missing a golden opportunity to help Iran throw off the mullahs. We have been waiting for this opportunity for 30 years and he is blowing it!!

Zerobama is Muslim. He APPROVES of the mullahs. Why would he want to throw them off?

A recent Twitter post caught my eye:

Constitution of Iran:Art.27-Unarmd marches may b freely orgnizd,prvided that no violation of foundations of Islam is involved. #IranElection

I haven't attempted to verify this.

Iran isn’t the only source, but it’s one of the very big ones. An Iranian revolution, followed by something stable and sane on Iran could be an enormous event of unalloyed good.
