This is quite a shocking description of todays repression of the demonstrations at Baharestan square in Tehran. Two woman in the video is asking the help of America to finish this ordeal.

All these events that happened in Iran in the past few days are showing the world that Iran is less homogeneous as the Western media was presenting it until not so long ago. In fact we are dealing with a country that is vulnerable due to it’s diversity and lack of unity.

The Islamic revolution imposed two main principles as cementing bound of the Iranian society: Islam and Republicanism, but the rulers have lost the trust of the people and every day the security forces and militias are becoming more and more violent towards the population, the danger of a the development of a longer conflict is more and more present.

I don’t think any country should be involved directly in this conflict. It’s the duty of Iranians to fight for their principles and gain their freedom. If it’s a foreign power that will “liberate” them it won’t be true freedom, they will be again another puppet state, just as they were during the Shah.
