Protesters are in the streets of Iran again, and the police are using tear gas. Fox News has reported bombs going off. Some Iranians are saying that revolution has begun in Iran.
Regardless, the nuclear concerns will not go away. Mousavi, as well as Ahmadinejad, supports the Iranian nuclear aspirations.
A virtual media blackout continues, but leaks through information fed out of the country by Iranian citizens is keeping us abreast of what is going on. Iranian government is trying to tamp down on people by shutting down phone access, Internet access. This is what brutal regimes do when challenged. Nonetheless, through programs like Twitter, the information continues to leak out of the country.
3,000 protesters are reported to have chanted "Death to the Dictator." 50-80 protesters have been beaten by police according to witnesses, and Fox News. Tehran police Chief has indicated the police will crack down on any gathering by protesters.
Ultimately, the real question is, what should the United States do, if anything. President Obama has repeatedly stated that the American Government should remain as distant from the situation as possible, so that we may not be seen as meddling. However, the Iranian leadership has still accused America of meddling, despite the Obama position.
Demonstrations are erupting around the world in protest to the Iranian Government.
Tonight, on Political Pistachio Radio, Walid Shoebat, former Palestinian Terrorist who is now a proud American Citizen, will join me as my guest, giving us his opinion on the situation in Iran, as well as the connection to Obama's speech in Cairo. Join us tonight live at 7pm Pacific/10pm Eastern HERE.
