The protests are not just in the streets but increasingly on the Internet. Twitter is full of messages from Iranians about the need for a new government and every day new videos are uploaded to social media sites showing Iranian women taking off their mandatory headscarves and dancing in the streets like that. This is strictly forbidden hundreds of Iranian women have appeared in these videos so far with their faces clearly visible, daring the IRGC thugs to try and come after them.
I'm not seeing much support in the West for these women resisting actual oppression.
The unrest is at a low level but it has been persistent. Iranian rulers are divided on whether or not they should start killing protesters to shut it down.
I'm old enough to remember that Iran used to be a close American ally. It would be nice to be friends with Iran again. It would sure make our life easier in Afghanistan. And a lot of other places, too.
