Fwd: Election Fun In Iran: Unrest of Citizens, Arrest of Loser & Oppression of Media, originally uploaded by thepetecom.
I reeeally wish I had more time to cover this. Basically, Iran had a
huge election and the main challenger, a dude called Mousavi lost.
Protests have erupted as claims of election fraud have, as well.
ABCNews has said that their footage of the scene of protests in Tehran
has been confiscated and that the pictures/video coming out of the
capital city of Iran were shot with cell phones (ironically, I watched
this report on my iPhone). Meanwhile, rumors are swirling that Mousavi
has been arrested and, according to @SashaKane in a Twitter post
he may have also been charged with: "http://twitter.com/SashaKane/status/2156528820, followed by
oppression of the media, protests and rumors of his competitor's
arrest don't exactly make Iran a less irresistible target for invasion
by the USG.
In fact, as we all know, weaker justifications for invasion have been
used in the past. Iran becoming unstable might almost be seen as a
good reason to invade.
Either way, stuff to be concerned with for sure...
