This is Iranians protesting the election results. From Tehranlive.org . No idea who took the above image, but it's Pulitzer worthy. Images like these, are reminiscent of the 1979 Iranian Revolution that deposed the Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi and brought Ayahtolla Khomeni to power. Nothing like this has come out of Iran in 30 years. and despite the government's best efforts, this time the revolution will be broadcast online. Even if media in the west are giving low to no priority to it.
