Iran Tweets

Latest Tweets OUT of Iran. As before no ID given to protect those giving information. ( My Views)



A) Tehran, Iran: many many people coming out of homes, everyone is outside. ( This has been confirmed by the BBC )



B) Gatherings have been confirmed in Isfahan, Shiraz, Tehran, and forming in Tabriz. ( Tehran confirmed )



C) Torturer of the 1990's "serial murders" is assigned to take the confessions.



D) Police shooting people in Iran..30.July.09 ( No actual reports of live bullets being used, based on current reports )


BBC News: Reports on the latest demonstrations in Iran, the flash point has been the memorial to Neda Agha Soltan, a young woman killed by the Government. The defeated opposition leader Mir Hossein Mousavi was prevented from attending the event with other mourners. The Government of President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad is not winning the spin war, in fact it is making quite hard for the Obama Administration to start talks with Iran. The decline in the Presidential Approval ratings for Obama means that he is weak abroad, he cant push Israel to sing a peace deal with Syria, the Heath Care Reform Bill will hit older voters, a lot of older Americans of the Jewish faith live in Florida, a swing state in the Presidential Election. Thus Obama cant be seen as attacking the health care of the elderly and attacking the security of Israel at the same time. Thus if Israel plays it cards right it wont have to give much up to Obama, at the end of the day Congress will support Israel no matter what is Obama's Foreign Policy. On Iran Obama might find that he has hurt his ratings so much with health care and cap and trade that he will be to weak to say no when Israel hits Iran at the end of the year. All politics is local, if your in Florida it can come down to your heath care and if your Jewish to the protect of Israel.
