Check this page and this page if you haven’t heard about this great event already, Iran is experiencing massive rioting, at a scale never before seen since the 1979 revolution, after the reformist politician Mousavi lost to the hardliner Ahmedinejad in what many people believe is a rigged election. Days of rioting have left the capital, Tehran, in a state of chaos, and a recount of the votes has been ordered. The pictures from the protests look like something big is happening indeed. Could it be that the Islamic Republic of Iran, one of the strongest regimes ruled by theocratic principles, is tethering on the brink of change?
