Serious unrest in Iran - The Orange Mane

BABronco · 06-27-2007, 11:39 AM

With the announcements by the Islamic Regime of impending gasoline (petrol) rationing, the last few days have seen long lines of upset citizens at gas stations throughout Iran. As supplies dwindled, tempers flared till this evening/tonight upset crowds set fire to some 50 gas stations in Tehran and tens of thousands of protesters marched from the eastern part of Tehran called Tehran Pars to Imam Hossein street.

Clashes have occurred around the capital city with the Islamic Supression forces, mostly Bassijis, firing live rounds into the crowds protesting the gasoline rationing.

And voicing their anger at the way the Islamic Regime under Ahmadi-Nejad has mishandled the economy, has sent huge sums, in the hundreds of millions of dollars, overseas to groups like Hamas and Hezbollah, while Iranians rummage in trash bins to survive.

About half a billion dollars was also diverted to Syria to buy Russian made weapons both for Syrian transfet to anti-israel groups in the Palestinian areas and for Russian fighter jets for Iran itself via this proxy buyer.

While Islamic government forces of Iran fired shots into protesters in Kermanshah, reports indicate that the populace of Sanandaj, a largely Kurdish city, have taken over control of the township and are now in charge.

Other cities throughout the nation are experiencing unrest and protest against the Mullahs.

Stepped up suppression and arrests over the past few weeks of any dissenting voices - students, teachers or workers show that the regime has been expecting trouble and tried to head it off.

Well this could be REALLY good news or REALLY bad news. If the people of Iran stay focused on their real enemy "their government" its great. The problem is if the government needs a distraction a war is a great way to create one.

Hopefully, Iran's citizens are getting tired of the crap they are being put through over there.

I agree with you Hotrod. Hopefully the citizens in Iran can cause regime change on their own rather than being forced into it by us.

Rascal · 06-27-2007, 01:05 PM

Hopefully things work out there without us trying to intervene which would be disastrous.

Hamas vs Fatah....Iran on the brink of a civil war.

I'm sure this is what Bin Laden had in mind....

Hotrod · 06-27-2007, 03:39 PM

Hmm I know this is abit on the conspiracy side but could the government be doing either

1. Preparing for more sanctions against their fuel supplies
2. Reserving thier supplys of gas for a war be it aggressive or defensive in nature.

Sure probebly not they have major refinery problems. They actually import almost 1/2 of their gas. Who is running that show. What kind of government/counrty fails to build enough refineries to supply its people with not only enough but affordable gasoline.............oh wait

Iran and Venezuela both could emerge as world powerhouse countries if they had anyone in power that had half a brain.

Finally a Bush plan working. The people of Iran will overthrow this dumbass, and we can avoid another war. Great Job GW!!!!!!!!!

24champ · 06-27-2007, 04:23 PM

We could bring the Iran economy to a complete standstill if we wanted to, I don't know why we don't because they are sending money and weapons to kill our troops.

Actually the only way to totally shut down Iran is with Mini-nukes but the democratic socialist party members around here dont wanna do it.

Ahhh... So the CIA under direct orders of Bushii have covertly created a shortage of gas in Iran. Creating a civil unreast... exactly as planned.

You've been hanging out with Capt. Mini-nukes to much...

Because the moderates and liberals who don't like their mullahs would lose what support they have. They can't stand up against the mullahs with our backing. They will have to do it on their own. If we support the uprising it will lose support faster then paris hilton getting banged after being released from prison.

bwahaha

good point..

The reason Iran has a fuel problem is they don't have many refineries. The ones they do have are old and broken down. Anyone who thinks Iran's people could overthrow the govt though are crazy. Without the military it would never happen. It's not like the good ole days when we rode around on horses with muskets and swords. Irans hardliners would crush any revolt that threatened their grip on power. You are all dreaming if you think it will change.

That's not what people mean (not me anyway). Information and education is the key to change.

They are pouring their money into nuclear weapons, instead of refineries. Hopefully, akmin chokes on it sooner than later..dman
