Is Our Press Corps Still in Iran?

I have to wonder whether our press corps is even in Iran to report on events or whether Ledeen's post on the shakiness of the Iranian regime accurately indicates that the regime could fall soon:

The regime’s internal enemies are getting stronger and more brazen, despite the bloody crackdown of recent months. The protests against the supreme leader, the president, and the top leaders of the regime, encompass every major city in the country. Every night chants of “Death to the Dictator!” ring out from rooftops and from within prisons. Whenever large numbers of people congregate, it becomes an occasion for an anti-regime demonstration, as took place in Tehran the other night during a soccer game in Azadi stadium.


Sabotage of a fuel plant, broadening public protests, and cracks within the ruling elites?

How could this not be making it into our news?
