The source of this article is CNN.com<\/a>.  Iran is celebrating the anniversary of its Islamic revolution on February 11.  It has been thirty years since that revolution changed the face of the Middle East.  The leaders of the opposition to the current government are calling for protests against the government on that day.  Meanwhile, Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad<\/font><\/a> is telling the world that Iran will deliver a harsh blow to “global arrogance” on that day.  It really doesn’t sound like a happy anniversary.<\/p>\n

According to the article:<\/p>\n

\n

“About 4,000 people have been arrested in the post-election crackdown. As of January 24, the government had confirmed the deaths of at least 37 people in the protests or in detention, seven of those deaths happening on the religious holiday of Ashura.<\/em><\/p>\n

“On Thursday, authorities hanged Mohammed Reza Ali Zamani, 37, and Arash Rahmanipour, 20, who had been convicted of being enemies of God and plotting to topple the Islamic regime.<\/em><\/p>\n

“The two were convicted in mass trials of opposition supporters in August, but Rahmanipour’s lawyer said the young man was arrested two months before the election.”<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The fact that the President Ahmadinejad is murdering dissidents and making threats against the world is an indication that his regime is in trouble.  He may be attempting to provoke an attack against his nation by a foreign power that will unite his people against a common enemy.  Unfortunately there is no way to determine whether or not he is bluffing.  <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
