Iranian Opposition Still Strong
With unbelievable hope and courage tens of thousands of Iranian citizens continue their public opposition to the tainted regime trying hard to consolidate its power.
On the 30th anniversary of the student take-over of the U.S. Embassy in Tehran the standard pro government rallies turned into something else again.
Tens of thousands of demonstrators poured into the streets of Tehran again on Wednesday to protest against the government and what they believe was a stolen presidential election last June.
Wednesday marked the 30th anniversary of the seizure of the U.S. Embassy in Iran during the Islamic Revolution. The government traditionally uses the anniversary to promote popular enmity toward the United States.
But this year, much of the hostility of the crowds was turned against Iran’s Islamic leaders, and there were sharp clashes with police.
