13 Killed by the State - Iran

BBC News: Reports that thirteen people lost their life's yesterday in the Demonstrations in Iran. Other news wires have ten killed and a hundred injured. Also some Twitter reports from Iran state that those taken to Hospital are being arrested, there are confusing reports of those injured yesterday going to Foreign Embassies for help, but also reports of those Embassies being blocked by the forces of the State. This page is about brutal honesty, even with the Demonstrations it can be postulated that the forces of the State have the upper hand, they shoot people, in less the Demonstrators can turn some of the security forces it is going to be a bloodbath in Tehran. In pure political terms this helps Obama and Israel, Obama might have wanted to talk to Iran over its nuclear ambitions but if there is a bloodbath in Iran that is out of the window, Israel can argue that you are not dealing with an Islamic State but a totalitarian state in the mold of Nazi Germany. President Obama had set a deadline for the end of the year for Iran to meet him half way, does not matter now, Obama can not afford to be seen as another Jimmy Carter or worse Neville Chamberlain, he can not appease the religious elite in Iran, thus expect after a bloodbath in Tehran and once the religious elite secure their positions for a while, for Israel to hit the nuclear bases of Iran, harsh but the most likely end of this mess.
