Major Demonstration In Tehran!!!





It is being reported by Azadi Tv (Iranian Satellite TV) that between 200,000 to 400,000 Iranians have started a demonstration in front of Tehran University in support of Azhura Khaleghe Yazdi and it is still going on as we report this.

Dr Yazdi has been claiming that the Iranian regime will end next week when he returns to Iran.



It was an anti-regime demonstration using the pretext of the victory of Iran in the battle to free the city of Abadan in Iran/Iraq war. Then the anti demonstration police force was called in and they fled because of overwhelming resistance of people, so other forces were called in but, as it has been reported the clashes became sporadic and the crowd moved from there towards Amirabad and.



We also heard on Azadi Tv from Mr. Yazdi himself that the force called "Pasdaran" have called him and supported him for his return this week to Iran and said that if anybody harms their Iranian brothers and sisters they will fight with them and will fully support people!

More information will be posted as it develops...

The Iranian leadership must be dealt with. looks like the UN will pass 19 resolutions, Germany and France will cry for 2 years then America will have to do the heavy lifting.

Iranians are showing signs of desperation for change

</TD></TR></TBODY></TABLE><!-- E IIMA -->A call from a US-based Iranian TV personality has prompted thousands of Iranians to protest for more freedoms.

People took to the streets of the capital, Tehran, and other cities on Sunday after Ahura Pirouz Khaleghi Yazdi urged protests across Iran.

The exile has predicted Iran's Islamic government will fall on 1 October.

Nobody had heard of Mr Yazdi until a few months ago when he set up a satellite channel in California to try to overthrow the Iranian government.



Since then he has become a hot topic of conversation both among disaffected Iranians and exiled opposition groups.

For several weeks he has been declaring that he intends to return to Iran on 1 October to end the rule of Islamic clerics.

He has called on the Iranian diaspora to accompany him in his so-called liberation flight and has urged his supporters inside the country to stage protests.

He is advocating peaceful means and civil disobedience.

TV power



Mr Yazdi, who seems to be about 50, apparently left Iran when he was a child - and his command of the Persian language is poor.

The pro-government press in Tehran has described him as insane.

His simplistic views about overthrowing the Islamic government singlehandedly have also angered serious exile opposition leaders who have labelled him a demagogue.

But analysts say the fact that thousands of people heeded his call and took to the streets on Sunday evening proves that Iranians are desperate for change.

The Yazdi phenomenon also shows how US-based opposition satellite TV stations are becoming an important means of putting pressure on the Iranian government. <!-- E BO -->

Yes, the people of an oppressed nation rising up and fighting for their own liberty with dignity. The opposition has been well funded by the US and others, of course, but the people own this fight. There is pride here.

Now, remind me again why this was so totally NOT doable in Iraq????

 

[bzbwoy]

xpanda, if they did it that way, how would they get the oil?

 

[xpanda]

Stories like this will be published ad nauseum in the American press in the run-up to the inevitable military confrontation between Iran and either the US or Israel.

My guess is that Israel will attack Iran's nuclear facilities, Iran will respond with an attack on Israel and American troops in Iraq (Iran will never believe that the US did not support an Israeli attack) and then the US will be given clearance to march into Iran and 'liberate' its people.

Then (if not before) the US will have to 'deal with' Pakistan as Musharraf isn't especially loved by his people and will be accused of harbouring AQ in their mountains. India will of course love this and, since they already feel indebted to the US for bringing so many jobs to them, will join this new coalition.

And it all began with the US bases in Iraq ....

 

[eek.]

India has been strictly non-aligned for generations X.(since Ghandi)

I would be surprised if they changed.

Plus Pakistan is nu-cue-lar capable, and destabilisation could let in the islamics.

 

[xpanda]

Nu-cue-lar. Too funny. Those damn moo-laws and their nucuelar intentionations.


On India: if a proposal to help overthrow the Pakistani regime and hand it over to US control were proposed, I'm inclined to think they would take the offer. It would be not only the easiest way to eliminate that nuisance for them, but also guarantees they have greater rights to the pipeline from Iran. At the least, the pipeline could be onshore instead of off.

Pure speculation on my part, tho.

Consider this: (posted by someone else on another board -- emphasis his)

Friedman is the founder of "Stratfor" a thinktank publication. Worth pondering. Makes sense to me.

US had plans to invade Pakistan

ANI[ SATURDAY, OCTOBER 02, 2004 10:53:29 AM ]

WASHINGTON: In a book that is likely to be released later this month, its author has startlingly revealed that the Bush Administration has firmed up plans to carry out an invasion of Pakistan's North West Frontier Province (NWFP), which is seen as the command centre of the al-Qaeda terrorist network.

George Friedman, the founder and chairman of the well regarded news and analysis service, Stratfor, reveals in his book titled "America's Secret War", the ongoing, but hidden struggle between the United States and its enemies.

"The United States will threaten Iran with war if it aids the al-Qaeda. The United States will have to invade northwest Pakistan. There are plans for this already. In addition, if Pakistan collapses due to an invasion, the United States and India will have to jointly occupy Pakistan. The end game is Pakistan," the Daily Times quotes Friedman as saying.

Friedman further goes on to say that his agency predicted the plan to invade the NWFP in December 2003.

He recalls that in February 2004, a Pentagon spokesman categorically said that US forces were "going into Pakistan."

"Since then, we have been carrying out small-scale incursions for months. The war can't end until the command cell of the al-Qaeda is destroyed and that is located in northwest Pakistan.
