Marking the 31st anniversary of the revolution, huge number of Iranians flocked to Azadi Square in central Tehran today. Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad delivered the keynote speech, which included his announcement that Iran has indeed produced a small batch of 20-percent enriched uranium.

There were also sporadic clashes between the security forces and opposition supporters on Thursday. Some opposition websites were reporting that the police fired shots in the air to disperse a group of Green movement supporters in central Tehran. Also there were reports that opposition leaders Mohammad Khatami, the former president, and Mehdi Karrubi were attacked by Basij elements when they attended the rally.

Internet very slow and sms shutdown. we can fight iranian censorship. There is a blog http://fightcensorshipiniran.blogspot.com/ which lists numbers of Ministry of Communications that people can call if they are outside Iran to complain of the censorship. If enough people do this it can make difference. Please spread word.

I totally support the Islamic Republic of Iran in its fight to stave off the infiltration of zionist and CIA agents via the n-th "coloured revolution", whose paid shills and clueless puppets aim only to prostitute Teheran to the whims of the "White House negro" and its masters in Tel Aviv.
