re: #479 Pianobuff

Fox reporting that despite orders for no protests today, hundreds if not thousands have grouped together in Tehran. Police are attempting to break it up with teargas, firing bullets in the air, etc.

Heard elsewhere that the state is ready to bring in the Revolutionary Guard if protests continue. Apparently the basij and police aren’t doing the job. If so, that would be a MAJOR escalation.

New tweet from StopAhmadi:
