Ten people have been killed overnight in anti-government protests sweeping Iran, according to state TV.

The unrest continued despite a call for calm from President Hassan Rouhani.

I've read speculation that the US and Saudis may have had a "hand" in this. 

This would please me.   :laugh:

They need a special council to investigate the foreign meddling.  I hear Mueller is available.

Merged several threads, as some had no comments but offered valuable information to add to the discussion.

To kill or not to kill? That is the question that Khamenei, still in purdah, is pondering. Buzz is: he is tending towards crackdown with mass arrests of #IranProtests activists but a portion of military and many clerics oppose use of violence at this time
Next 48 hours crucial.
