All the eyes of the world now is heading towards the Iranian capital to see whether today will be a turning point in the history of the Islamic republic or not.
Of course it is OK to attack Mousavi's supporters as vandals and agents
For the 3rd day the communication with the outside world is not easy in Iran , the mobile phones are down , the TV channels offices from abroad are closed and their reporters are harassed.
The facebook and youtube are still blocked , Iranians have become masters in proxy.
BY the way I read a comment by Reza Aslan I should highlight it :
Iranians are scared of becoming Egypt where military is in background running the showWow we became a role model in the Middle East !! This is for Mubarak and his regime, of course his statement is not true because the army does not rule anymore , it is the Mubarak dynasty protected and supported by police and army.
I recommend that you check the following links from blogs and twitters from Iran :
- English Language twitterers in Iran "Highly recommended"

Update #1 :
- BBC reports Muosavi supporters rally canceled because police authorized to use live amo
- Mousavi couldn't get the permission for rally. He said "the rally is delayed and will be rescheduled."
- Mousavi & Karoubi will be on the way to the protest to ask people to remain calm
- Opposition leader Mousavi will attend today's banned demonstration in Tehran "It seems there will be one after all"
Updates #2 :

- Ahmadinajed has canceled his trip to Moscow,it is no time for sure , he knows regardless of what he claims how critical the situation is.
- Khamini may have to give up on Ahmadinajed in order to keep the Islamic Republic in order.
- Our Arab official media is between two fires : They are happy that Ahmadinajed is facing hard time but on the other hand they can't open their mouths and criticize the Iranian elections and support Mousavi because their regimes are even much worse than Ahmadinajed when it comes to cheating in elections and oppressing the opponents.

- I read the Obama's comments about Iran were surprising to me seriously I did not expect him to say
I want to start off by being very clear that it is up to Iranians to make decisions about who Iran's leaders will be; that we respect Iranian sovereignty and want to avoid the United States being the issue inside of Iran, which sometimes the United States can be a handy political footballand in the end of his comments
And particularly to the youth of Iran, I want them to know that we in the United States do not want to make any decisions for the Iranians, but we do believe that the Iranian people and their voices should be heard and respected.So the Americans know very well they can interfere for fear the conservatives win sympathy and the reformists are discredited. Seriously I am stunned.
- Mohammad Ali Abtahi ; reformist cleric,former vice president and blogger also has been arrested today.
- Here is Reza Aslan's essay where he fears that Iran turns in to Egypt which I mentioned before
There is a genuine fear among these groups that Iran is beginning to resemble Egypt or Pakistan, countries in which the military controls the apparatus of government.
- Der Spiegel is dragging Hezbollah again claiming that party sent its men to help Ahmadinajed ,I have my doubts regarding this starting from the fact that it is Der Spiegel and its fued with Hezbollah is well known "English translation"
