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.

Isn't it just!
Break
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".

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!
