Very reduced twitter activity from Iran yesterday.

From various tweets. I believe the “IRIB” referred to is state media. And notice the first one, people have figured out a way to participate without going out into the streets, and the 3rd and 4th ones, which indicate Iran govt is blaming the US and Israel:

Every night in Tehran millions of people stand on their balcony and support Sea of Green by chanting ‘Allah Akbar’ -

also IRG’s involvement in controlling Internet & to fight back us is confirmed. I already can see lot more gov’s twitts than yesterday.

gov is now running a mass media propaganda about US & Israel joint force working in some Internet sites against Iran

and right now state TV is showing a program about how Evil Internet is and US & Britain & Israel are all behind this! this is ridiculous!

irib.ir said that we are all violent thugs - we are showing you everyday that we are peaceful Sea of Green - #Iranelection

All the violence in Iran now is ONLY by Baseej - they are beating people walking in the street, for no reason - #Iranelection

Gov has closed Iran to all foreign communication and news coverage - #Iranelection

They are removing from public profile all people who oppose them - arresting and torturing - #Iranelection&

Today Sea of Green will wear black in respect of those who have been killed by Gov - #Iranelection

government now attacking people who provided proxy for us, I don’t know exactly how. but it’s confirmed.

any hope we had for Parliament to stand against ahmady is now ruined, they openly support government today.

state TV & Radio went berserk today, all they saying are moosavi’s supporters are all criminals & they will stop us at any cost
