Just saw this off the twitter feed:

tareshen: RTIran: This is not a 'small protest' considering the expected to die today this is a huge protest.

TehranBureau's Twitter feed says the protesters beat back the Basiji at 7 Tir and are entering the square.

Interesting that the most intense confrontations seem to be happening in SW Tehran today.

Re: An Ugly Day (none / 1)

Protesters have apparently taken Tohid Sq, a little north of Jehun where Moussavi was speaking and NW of 7 Tir.

What little I can cobble together: Sounds like the protesters may be steadily taking West Tehran, to the S, SW and W of the airport (looking at Google Maps), and pushing towards Central. The government's going to have a real problem if they're pushed back from the North, too.

Be nice to America. Or we'll bring democracy to your country.
