Iran Update – the Protests Continue Monday, Iran-Blaming the West - Insults and Inflames Protestors

From Twitter protests will begin at several locations through the Capital – at 4 and 5PM local time. It appears that the people of Iran, from posts made, are willing to die for democracy.

The current Iranian Government is grasping at straws - issuing statements that the “West Seeks Iran’s Disintegration”(from the BBC), while also blaming the Western Media - thus further inflaming those communicating via Twitter and other social media websites, as those fighting for democracy inside Iran consider it an insult to the Iranian people – their strengths, intelligence and determination. Therefore, a ploy which has worked in the past, (blame the West), will not work with today's technologcially savvy and enlightened Irainian revolutionaries.

Additionally, the AP is reporting dissent between the ruling elite, specifically Hashemi Rafsanjani, former president, “who is the head of the cleric-run “Assembly of Experts, which can remove the supreme leader“. There is speculation that Rafsanjani is sympathetic to the opposition. Should the protests continue (and there is indication that they very well may), the history of Iran will change – the protestors understand that the only option now is success or death (given the regimes hard line approach to removing dissenters in the past. The majority of the “Tweets” are focused on a path to democracy – with the ability to vote in an election, those Iranian’s tasted freedom, and the outcome (questionable), has spurned this culturally advanced, proud Persian movement to revolution.
