It is too early, in my opinion, to say if the 2009
post-presidential election street clashes at Iran’s
capital will grow to full pledged and/or sustained street
riots by those disaffected backers of defeated reformist
candidate Mir Hossein Mousavi over Friday's re-election
win of hardliner and firebrand Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.
...
But what is a fact right now inside Iran is that Tehran
street clashes by Mousavi supporters have emerged
strongly against Ahmadinejad and his win of gaining
four more years as President of Islamic Iran. It isn't a
a pretty picture coming out of Tehran with grim images
of Iranian government police kicking, beating and ar-
resting whoever they can lay their hands on at such
street protests, which for now appear to be mainly
confined to urban patches of the university area of
the city. The political and internal dangers for both
Ahmadinejad and Mousavi are that such street
clashes could spread out of control, not only with-
in the Iranian capital itself, but also beyond to
divers and other towns and cities all across Iran.
But again right now, it seems such street pro-
tests are local to Tehran and not beyond its
geographic confines. Though that could change
quite rapidly if the Ahmadinejad government
mishandles the present post-election protests,
which it is more likely to do than not by its
current and ugly crackdown against such
young and rich Mousavi protesters!!
