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.
@TheGuardian

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

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.

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."

Green brief # 3
I'm Josh Shahryar AKA NiteOwl and I've been immersed in tweets from Iran for the past several hours. I have tried to be extremely careful in choosing my tweet sources and have tried maximally to avoid listening to media banter. What I have compiled below is what I can confirm through my tweets to have happened in the past day and in the past week in Iran. Remember, this is all from tweets. There is NOTHING included here that is not from a reliable tweet. No news media outlets have been used in the compilation of this short brief as I would like to call it.
These are some of the happenings that I can positively confirm from Friday, June 18 and early Saturday, June 19 in Iran.
1. Khamanei – the Supreme Leader of Iran – today at the Friday prayers announced that the protests were unacceptable and were a direct result of meddling in Iran’s affairs by Zionists, the evil UK and the US. He said that unless the protests stop, they will result in bloodshed. He called upon the protesters to stop protesting because elections have winners and losers. According to him, if there were any complaints, they were going to be heard through legal channels and that these protests were results of plans from foreign countries that’d been waiting for a chance for years. He said that if the protests did not stop, protesters and their leaders must ready themselves for the consequences.
2. He candidly hinted that he had been an Ahmadinejad supporter before the election, but the people shouldn’t had been influenced by his decision, thus, he didn’t publicly declare his support. He blamed the youth of being fooled by foreign spies and turning into thugs. Yet he claimed that by going back to spirituality, the nation’s problems could be solved. For a transcript of Khamenei’s speech please check this link: Khamenei's Speech in English - Why We Protest - IRAN
3. It is to be noted that neither Mousavi nor Karoubi joined Friday prayers under Mr. Khamanei, according to our reliable sources. But they had already decided not to hold a protest on Friday. It has also been confirmed that a large number of people were brought from the more religiously conservative rural areas of central Iran in order to fill the mosque and give the country a false sense of unity. Our sources also confirmed that many reform activists who had decided not to go were promptly arrested even as the Friday prayers were being held. The number of these people soared after the end of the prayers.
4. Reports of Mousavi being in danger have been refuted. His office was not burned or trashed as reported on main-stream media. According to my sources, he was been threatened to not say a word to his supporters, but he was not arrested by the IRG (Iranian Revolutionary Guard). He is safe and free and is preparing for tomorrow’s protest. Saturday’s rally that was planned in Tehran will take place at 4 PM near Enghelab Field. This is at a time when the government has officially denied Mousavi and Karoubi’s request to hold a rally on that day. Sources, though, claim that he has given the go ahead for the protest to be held on Saturday and urged all his supporters to participate in the similar fashion as before.
5. SMS is now working inside Iran, though, foreign news outlets; social networking websites and messengers still don’t work. Though sources have indicated that most twitter users have said that this is a potential trap so that the government could more easily be able to find out what their identities are and arrest them.
6. Large numbers of Basij and IRG troopers have been stationed within the city. There have been reports of attacks on the Basijis by armed Iranians. Sources claim that Basijis are being arrested by these men who seem to have some level of support by the police. Although confirmed by several sources that the young men are getting organized and call themselves the National Iranian Resistance, this Brief will not go so far as to confirm it entirely. Please wait for confirmation by either us or MSM.
7. Sources have also confirmed that several high-ranking IRG members have been arrested today. They join several other members who were arrested in the past two days. At the same time, it is being reported that a few members of the IRG were seen laying down their arms around isolated pockets of protesters, telling them they won’t fight fellow Iranians and had gone home. Sources also claim that the military is currently the only body that has not taken part in arrests, violence or other abuses. But according to them, Ahmadinejad has the support of the IRG and the Basji at this point.
8. It has been also reported that the IRG has been given full authorization to suppress the protests. Even though confirmed by twitter sources, again, this is too important a piece of information to be taken lightly. Coupled with Khamenei’s statements today, it potentially sets up a violent crackdown on any protests that will take place on Saturday.
9. Negotiations are ongoing within Qom between leading clerics to determine what they should do in case protests continue. Sources have not confirmed anything beyond this, though in the past, multiple high-ranking clerics, including Ayatollah Montazeri and Ayatollah Sanei had called on the government to negotiate with protesters. This seems to put Khamenei in a position where he lacks support from two very revered clerics.
10. Reformist activists are still being arrested in large numbers. The number of people being arrested now stands upwards of 5,000. Sources indicate that some key reformists have been tortured and are being forced to sign confessions stating they were guilty of inciting violence.
11. Twitter sources that have been able to tweet have told us that they will be most definitely joining the protest tomorrow even though it is very possible that they might be injured or killed. Some have even indicated that they are fully prepared to die as they are simply too tired of living under a repressive regime with little to no rights that they desire.
12. Protests are planned for many other major cities in Iran, including Isfahan, Shiraz, Tabriz, Mashhad and Qom. After the call by Mousavi, other protests are currently planned around the world to show solidarity with Iranians.
Finally, a bit of inside journalism from myself…
13. Anonymous and the Pirate Bay are working as hard as they can to provide proxies to people so they can at least use twitter to get us what is happening. At the time of the writing of this brief, the majority of helpers involved in helping Iranian voices to be heard have not slept for days or very little. One helper confirmed that he hadn’t had warm food until today since the protests began on Saturday (Although he’s a n00b and we don’t care about him much, j/k

Tor يک پروژه نرم افزاری است که به شما در دفاع دربرابر تجزيه و تحليل بازديدکنندگان کمک می کند، نوعی مراقبت شبکه که آزادی شخصی و حريم خصوصی، روابط و فعاليت های کاری محرمانه و امنيت دولتی را تهديد می کند. Tor با تقويت ارتباطات در اطراف يک شبکه توزيع شده ايستگاه های واسطه که توسط دواطلبان از سراسر جهان اداره می شود، از شما محافظت می کند: اين نرم افزار اجازه نمی دهد ديگران از طريق اطلاع از سايت هايی که شما بازديد می کنيد اتصال اينترنتی شما را مشاهده کنند، همچنين اجازه نمی دهد سايت هايی را که بازديد می کنيد از موقعيت فيزيکی شما اطلاع پيدا کنند. Tor با تعداد زيادی از برنامه های موجود شما، از جمله مرورگرهای وب، سرويس گيرندگان پيام رسانی فوری، ورود به سيستم از راه دور و ساير برنامه هايی که براساس پروتکل TCP هستند.
صدها هزار نفر در سراسر دنيا از Tor برای اهداف متفاوت استفاده می کنند: روزنامه نگاران و وبلاگ نويسان، طرفداران حقوق بشر، مأموران اجرای قانون، سربازان، مؤسسات، شهروندان مخالف رژيم و شهروندان عادی. برای اطلاع از کاربران عادی Tor ، به صفحه چه کسانی از Tor استفاده می کنند؟ مراجعه کنيد. برای اطلاع از توضيحات بيشتر در مورد کار Tor، اينکه چرا تنوع کاربران مهم است و نحوه کار Tor، به صفحه مرور کلی مراجعه کنيد.
سه قطعه چاپ ريز وجود دارد که بايد درباره آن بدانيد.
1. اگر از Tor درست استفاده نکنيد، از شما محافظت نمی کند. ليست هشدارهای ما را مطالعه کرده و دستورالعمل های پايگاه خود را به دقت دنبال کنيد.
2. حتی اگر Tor را درست تنظيم کرده و استفاده کنيد، هنوز حملات احتمالی که می تواند قابليت Tor برای محافظت از شما را کشف کند وجود دارد.
3. اين روزها هيچ سيستم گمنامی بدون خطا نيست و Tor نيز از اين قاعده مستثنی نمی باشد: اگر به يک گمنامی قوی احتياج داريد، نبايد فقط به شبکه Tor فعلی متکی باشيد.
با رشد پايه کاربری و افزايش داوطلبين برای اداره ايستگاه های واسطه، امنيت Tor بهبود می يابد.

INSTRUCTIONS IN ENGLISH
Tor is free software and an open network that helps you defend against a form of network surveillance that threatens personal freedom and privacy, confidential business activities and relationships, and state security known as traffic analysis.
Tor protects you by bouncing your communications around a distributed network of relays run by volunteers all around the world: it prevents somebody watching your Internet connection from learning what sites you visit, and it prevents the sites you visit from learning your physical location. Tor works with many of your existing applications, including web browsers, instant messaging clients, remote login, and other applications based on the TCP protocol.
Hundreds of thousands of people around the world use Tor for a wide variety of reasons: journalists and bloggers, human rights workers, law enforcement officers, soldiers, corporations, citizens of repressive regimes, and just ordinary citizens. See the Who Uses Tor? page for examples of typical Tor users. See the overview page for a more detailed explanation of what Tor does, and why this diversity of users is important.
Tor doesn't magically encrypt all of your Internet activities, though. You should understand what Tor does and does not do for you.
Tor's security improves as its user base grows and as more people volunteer to run relays. (It isn't nearly as hard to set up as you might think, and can significantly enhance your own security.) If running a relay isn't for you, we need help with many other aspects of the project, and we need funds to continue making the Tor network faster and easier to use while maintaining good security.
FARSI FIRST AID
۱) مجروح را حتیالامکان تکان ندهید ، مگر اینکه جانش در معرض خطر آنی قرار داشته باشد. (مثل: در وسط خیابان یا در تیررس باشد)
۲) کمکهای اولیه خیلی ساده را انجام دهید: اگر مجروح بیهوش شده ولی هنوز نفس میکشد، راه تنفس او را باز نگاه دارید. اگر نفس نمیکشد به اوتنفس مصنوعی بدهید.
۳) زخمهأیی را که خونریزی میکنند تحت کنترل بگیرید.
۴) اگر جراحت گلوله در ناحیه سینه است آنرا با تکهای پلاستیک بپوشانید (پانسمان کنید) تا از ورود هوا به داخل زخم جلوگیری کند. اینکار همچنین از خالی شدن ریه از هوا هم جلوگیری میکند. در صورتی که مجروح از بدتر شدن نفس تنگی آاش خبر دهد پانسمان را بردارید.
۵) مجروح را اگر هشیار و بهوش است در راحترین حالت نشسته یا خوابیده که برایش امکان داشته باشد قرار دهید.
۶) اگر مجروح بیهوش است او را در موضع هوشآوری قرار دهید. برای قرار دادن مجروح به موضع هوشآوری شانه و ران او را گرفته به سمت خود بچرخانید تا به پهلو قرار گیرد.
۷) اگر محل تیرخوردگی در بالاتنه و از کمر به بالا است (به غیر از بازوان) از بالا قرار دادن پاهای مجروح برای جلوگیری از شوک خودداری کنید، زیرا بالا قراردادن پاها باعث سریعتر و شدیدتر شدن خونریزی این نوع جراحت میشود و این تنفس را برای مجروح مشگلتر میکند.
۸) از دادن غذا یا مایعات یا حتی آب به مجروح خودداری کنی

LETTER FROM IRAN DEC. 18, !1978
Just before the Shah fell
@NYTimes
The weight of the world now rests on the shoulders of Mir Hossein Mousavi. I expect that Khamenei's people have privately sent signals to him that they're ready for a bloodbath, they're prepared to use overwhelming force to crush this, and is he willing to lead the people in the streets to slaughter?
Mousavi is not Khomeini, and Khamenei is not the Shah. Meaning, Khomeini would not hesitate to lead his followers to "martyrdom", and the Shah did not have the stomach for mass bloodshed. This time the religious zealots are the ones holding power.
The anger and the rage and sense of injustice people feel will not subside anytime soon, but if Mousavi concedes defeat he will demoralize millions of people. At the moment the demonstrations really have no other leadership. It's become a symbiotic relationship, Mousavi feeds off people's support, and the popular support allows Mousavi the political capital to remain defiant. So Mousavi truly has some agonizing decisions to make.
Rafsanjani's role also remains critical. Can he co-opt disaffected revolutionary elites to undermine Khamenei? As Khamenei said, they've known each other for 52 years, when they were young apostles of Ayatollah Khomeini. I expect that Khamenei's people have told Rafsanjani that if he continues to agitate against Khamenei behind the scenes, he and his family will be either imprisoned or killed, and that the people of Iran are unlikely to weep for the corrupt Rafsanjani family.
Whatever happens, and I know I shouldn't be saying this as an analyst, but my eyes well when I think of the tremendous bravery and fortitude of the Iranian people. They deserve a much better regime than the one they have.

3:46 pm: Another message from a friend of NIAC in Tehran:
According to him, tomorrow’s rally is scheduled for 4-6pm from Engelab Sq (Revolution Sq) to Azadi Sq (Freedom Sq). He believes that there will be casualties tomorrow on the count that people are angry with Khamenei’s sermon today and will voice their outrage tomorrow at the demonstration. He believes that “Khamenei has put the gun to his own mouth.”
3:09 pm: One of our readers requested that we translate the following blog post: “Tomorrow is a big day, may I get killed tomorrow!” (http://balatarin.com/permlink/2009/6/19/1625688)
“I will participate in the demonstrations tomorrow. Maybe they will turn violent. Maybe I will be one of the people who is going to get killed. I’m listening to all my favorite music. I even want to dance to a few songs. I always wanted to have very narrow eyebrows. Yes, maybe I will go to the salon before I go tomorrow! There are a few great movie scenes that I also have to see. I should drop by the library, too. It’s worth to read the poems of Forough and Shamloo again. All family pictures have to be reviewed, too. I have to call my friends as well to say goodbye. All I have are two bookshelves which I told my family who should receive them. I’m two units away from getting my bachelors degree but who cares about that. My mind is very chaotic. I wrote these random sentences for the next generation so they know we were not just emotional and under peer pressure. So they know that we did everything we could to create a better future for them. So they know that our ancestors surrendered to Arabs and Mongols but did not surrender to despotism. This note is dedicated to tomorrow’s children…”
