Developing . . . All updates in extended entry

There have been more and more rumors floating around the internet concerning suspicious activity inside of Iran. They have been focused on a supposed revolution.

Jordan of The Politicker brings word of a post on a forum as well as a strange picture of Enghelab Square in Tehran, Iran.

Reports over the past 24 - 48 hours via several important information services such as SMCCDI, Peykeiran, Zagros and direct email reports and phone calls from Iranian citizens is beginning to shine light on what at this time looks to be country-wide fighting and quickly escalating into what could potentially become a freedom revolution.

Several independent citizen sources have reported the formation of significant crowds throughout the country, and have heard many loud explosions and gun shots, including in the cities of Tehran, Esfahan, and Shiraz.

SMCCDI and Peykeiran have both reported intense battles between freedom-loving Iranian citizens and the regime’s fanatical militias in the village of Meeyan Do Ab. Both sources are reporting many deaths and injuries both to the villagers and regime’s forces.

If these rumors are true, this is fantastic news if a revolutoin accomplishes something. The Iranian government isn’t exactly friendly with the United States or the civilized world. President Bush and the entire United States government needs to support a revolution if one is going on.

Michael Leeden of The Corner brings more news concerning dramatic events that are unfolding.

I just got a long fax, in Farsi, from friends following the events in Iran. The bottom line is that, once again, the extreme instability of the country has been demonstrated. It seems that more than two thousand people have been arrested. Several members of the Revolutionary Guards have been killed. Depending on your point of view the catalyst for these clashes was either appeals from outside Iran, or the continued collapse of the mullahs (banks closed, salaries unpaid, teachers locked out of schools, etc.) or the incredible tempo of executions, notably of young people, on charges that seem preposterous. It is clear that opponents of the regime are increasingly armed, there are gunfights in the streets of several cities, and the clashes are going on all over the country. It is not just Tehran, or Tehran and Isfahan.

Strangely, the MSM has not reported anything in regards to this. Of course Iran would not exactly welcome outside media to report civil unrest, however with our satellite systems you would think we know something is going on.

Update:
Jordan continues to do great work following this story and finds more information.

Update:
Jordan and I took to the task of trying to find as much information about this as possible from obscure sources on the web. Below is what we were able to find.

TEHRAN (Reuters) - Iran’s clerical leadership will fall on Friday, if Iranian self-styled prophet Ahura Pirouz Khaleghi Yazdi — whose broadcasts on a U.S.-based satellite channel have become hot gossip in Iran — is to be believed.

Khaleghi’s Web site (www.ahura.info), based in California, says he will return to Iran on Friday to remove the “Terrorist Regime” using good thoughts, good words and good deeds, the central tenets of Zoroastrianism, Iran’s pre-Islamic religion.

But Khaleghi’s rhetoric has ruffled few feathers among the country’s rulers.

“If they wanted to, they could easily have blocked his Web site. It is a sign they are not that worried,” said one Tehran resident, Karim.

Although many Persian Weblogs dismiss the man as a lunatic, numerous protesters at minor pro-democracy demonstrations on Sunday said they were responding to his call.

Khaleghi, an aviation consultant, says he will charter 50 aeroplanes to bring the Iranian diaspora back from exile, in a clear parallel to Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini’s arrival at the advent of the 1979 Islamic revolution.

This event he speaks of was verified by one of the links above describing some event to unfold on October 1. This does sound a bit delusional, however with the other news coming out of Iran it just might cause greater unrest.
