Street Clash In Iran

Many are unhappy with Ahmadinejad in Iran. Today that appears to have boiled over.

Initially, a government sanctioned rally to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the U.S. Embassy takeover was going on. The attenders were happily burning their U.S. flags shouting "Down with America!" and "Destroy Israel!"

But part way through the flag burning, a large group of thousands started gathering across the street who were in support of the opposition leader Mousavi.

Many marchers wore green scarves or wristbands that symbolized the campaign of opposition leader Mir Hossein Mousavi, who claims President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad stole the June election from him through fraud. Mousavi and his allies, including former President Mohammad Khatami, appeared to encourage opposition protesters to stay on the streets.

Is this going to be a steady movement that will try and oust the nut-job Iranian leaders who deny the Holocaust and seem bent on creating global chaos?

The full extent of the opposition marches was not immediately clear. Hundreds were seen in Haft-e-Tir Square, some chanting "Death to the Dictator" or marching silently and flashing the V-for-victory sign.
Reformist Web sites also said one of the leading opposition figures, Mahdi Karroubi, was beaten by security forces before being led away by his bodyguards. Neither Karroubi nor his aides could be immediately contacted.

As for now, we will need to keep watching. One thing for sure....Iran is a mentioned country that will take part in a Last Days attempt to destroy Israel....so it is highly unlikely that Iran will overthrow an extreme government and replace it with rulers who love Israel and embrace the West. On the contrary, we would expect Iran to keep moving towards Russia and Turkey...as the days grow shorter.
