Iran Has Risen – Confirmed Protestors in Streets – Tir 18 – Army Rumored to have Turned on Khomeini

As of: 8:43 am, EST, several sources via social networking sites such as Twitter are confirming that the protestors have gather in the street and that the clashes between the Iranian Regime and those seeking a Free Iran has begun again. The Regime, as promised, is using every method available to squash the protestors – the question now remains, how large of a protest is taking place, and to what extent the brutal regime will go. Within the past few weeks, leading clerics have begun to question the legitimacy of the election, which has spurred on those seeking freedom. The thrust of the protests now appear to be less about Mousavi’s presidential bid, than a bid for general freedom from the oppressive Iranian Theocracy. The Los Angeles Times has also confirmed clashes in the streets as of 5:30 am.

The following is an update from Twitter

It has also been reported that the regular army had been asked to step down, while “special forces” handled the protestors. The protestors are not only students, but men and women of all ages. Should the Army side with the clerics from Qom and the Protestors, the end of the Tyrannical Iranian Regime, could very well be at an end, much earlier than anyone would have predicted.
