Seeing as my cobloggers have flooded the zone on the subject of recent events in Spain*, and flooded it quite well, I’m going to exercise my own perennial worry: Iran. Something’s going on over there (via Pejman):
According to sketchy reports, an uprising has occurred in the northern Iranian city of Fereydunkenar.
Demonstrations are reported to have begun on March 13, in the small town in the northern Iranian province of Mazandaran.
Activist chat is claiming that the demonstrations are spreading; so is SMCCDI. As usual, the regular news organizations apparently don’t have a blessed clue about what’s going on: I drew a blank with AP, Reuters, Fox, CNN… shoot, right now I’d be happy to get some sort of information from AFP, even.
So, I guess we wait and see.
*For the record, I’m not hurling curses at the Spanish electorate, but I do think that they made the wrong choice. It was their wrong choice to make, though, and I hope that it doesn’t cause them more heartache down the line.
right now I’d be happy to get some sort of information from AFP, even.
Ask and ye shall receive.
I’ve asked this before and got bupkis. Are there some good Iranian blogs out there and if so, who are they?
Jeff Jarvis has been posting till he bursts on Iranian blogs for the better part of a year. Over there.
Fingers, toes, even eyes, crossed.
