As protests have continued in Iran, Twitter’s from Iran are reported that when the General Counsel ruled the election fair, people took to the streets in protest. The shouts of Allah Akbar were said to have been so loud, it was difficult to hear. Additionally, telephone and internet services were out in many parts of Tehran today and there is a call for a national strike tomorrow.
Should the nation protest and stay home, that would spell disaster for the regime. For the last week Twitters have noted that large sums of money have been leaving Iran since the protests over the election began. An article regarding the current situation with Iran’s Stock Exchange and economic realities based on abusing the populace, and money leaving the country points to a change in regime:
Perhaps even more damning for the regime is where the money is leaving from. By amounts of up to $10 million at a time, it is the Islamic elite that are withdrawing their money. Clearly this shows that even within the Islamic elite, there is a belief that the current situation has reached a point where significant change is unavoidable.
The fact that currency is leaving the country has been confirmed by the New York Times, crediting sources in Europe. The entire world is aware of what is happenning to the people of Iran - especially when conservative (sources) left-leaning, New York Times jumps on board.
