3.55pm:
The police have attempt to portray the protesters as rioters by detailing the damage they have caused, and claimed public backing for a violent crackdown.
Iran's deputy police commander, Ahmad-Reza Radan, said 400 police have been wounded since last Friday's vote.
He claimed 10,000 complaints have been been made, according to state-run Press TV. "They have called on the police to deal with rallies firmly," he said.
"The recent rallies destroyed 700 buildings, burst 300 banks into flame, damaged 300 cars and 300 public properties," Radan added.

UNCOMFIRMED REPORTS OF BOILING WATER (?) BEING POURED OVER PROTESTERS BY HELICOPTERS!
An eyewitness in Enghelab square reports around 20,000 riot police, made up of Basiji militiamen and soldiers, and armed with rifles, tear gas and water cannons. The eyewitness saw dozens of people beaten by riot police in an attempt to frighten them into evacuating the square, with one young man being beaten to the ground by four policemen. The protesters were not wearing the green insignia that signifies support for Mousavi, and were not making victory signs or chanting.The eyewitness reports riot police attacking people on passing motorbikes and, on occasion, innocent passersby who have no way of escaping the heavy police presence. Nonetheless, there are thousands of Mousavi supporters, marching peacefully near the square, where rthey have been subjected to these brutal reprisals from the police. Across Tehran, there is widespread fear and panic, with many desperate to know what is going on in Enghelab square, but unable to find out due to reporting restrictions. Now the question seems to be: what will Mousavi do next?@TheGuardian
+ (a little bit) more
10.20 am. The state TV is already blaming Mousavi for a suicide terrorist blast at the Khomeini Shrine. So far, we have seen nothing but murderous crassness from the regime. The huge vote-rigging; the extreme sermon; the thousands of police and Basijis on the streets; the deployment of terrorism as a pretext for more government brutality. These people are theo-fascists, and this is now the front line against theo-fascism.

Break
I might take a break at this point for a while and let the 'professionals' do their work.
I am very tired as I have hardly slept in the past 4 days, it only being myself here in the 'Exile' media compound in downtown 'teh'ran'.
Tiredness also means that I could start missing the real stories and just spreading disinformation, and there IS enough of that out there.
I will be keeping an eye on the story as it unfolds and if anyone does find something unique then please email me at monastreet @ gmail dot com
So I don't know how long this break will be, but I will be back fairly soon.
For those who followed me "thanx".

Iranian updates (keep refreshing page#26)
BBC TV/PERSIAN FOOTAGE OF THE SHOOTING
5 minute footage - first impression seems that they have corralled people in streets and then shooting at them+frightening!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
UPDATE: Jumped the gun so to speak, looks like that was NOT from today!
9:40 AM ET -- State media claims 2 injured at Khomeini shrine explosion.
NBC's Ann Curry tweets: "Iran state tv claims explosion at tomb of revered Ayatollah Khomeini. Would incite anger against protesters. Is it true? ... Remember Iran govt is the only source of this explosion report. NO independent confirmation and misinformation is dangerous."
A reader, speculating that the government set the bomb, writes, "The mullahs did something similar in August 1978 in Iran - they set a cinema in Abadan ablaze and blamed the Shah. That was the turning point of that revolution as the people bagan to see the Shah as ruthless."
NICO - YOU ARE DOING AN AMAZING JOB!
+ more...
Fars news agency says the bomb was detonated at the northern wing of Imam Khomeini's shrine. The bomber was killed. #iranelection

@TheGuardian
8:09 AM ET -- Few reports coming in from the demonstration site. Information is hard to come by right now but multiple reports suggest that security forces are out in droves. From Reuters: "Witnesses said they had seen Basij Islamic militia deploying across Tehran and one resident saw at least three buses full of Basij heading for the capital from the nearby city of Karaj on Saturday, as well as four trucks full of the motorcycles used by Basij militiamen during previous demonstrations.
