And Iran. Day Six.

As always, keeping up with Sullivan on this.

Sullivan linked to a 16-point brief as a means of sifting through the mass of rumors and unconfirmed reports, which itself is commenting on a thread posted at Anonymous Iran. The best verifiable news?

7. Protests have occurred not just in Tehran yesterday, but in Ahvaz, Mashhad, Kermanshah, Qazvin, Shiraz, Tabriz and EVEN Qom. [Largely verified, although we are checking the Qom claim.]
13. As of today, not a single report of the military’s intervention into the peaceful protests has been established. Not a single one. [Verified. Apart from a brief reports of tanks on the streets on Monday night, there has been no evidence of Iranian military challenging the demonstrations.]


Also, when the ICHC political section Pundit Kitchen (site no longer valid) had some protest photos uploaded, I couldn't resist:






Keep watching. Keep praying.

(Update 8/30/2016): Yeah, it's been seven years since this article. I'm still getting traffic to it, even though some of the political dynamic have changed since 2009. I'm mostly here to fix the links with permanent (hopefully) additions of the original photos I created in I Can Has Cheezburgr site, which should help those still looking for this blog.

Click the Iran tag at the bottom of this article, you should get the more current blogging I've done on this ongoing situation. Thank ye.
