I am from Iran and have actively participated and watched these protests. If anyone has any questions about current situation in Iran, I can report from what I have seen.

I will write my take from this article in 1-2 hours. Right now I am not in situation to write. But I have to mention Iran current political system does not have reformist. Most reformists suppressed in first years of revolution. The only trustworthy reformist remaining was Mir Hossein Mosavi. But he has been in house arrest for last 5 year. People (like myself) hate these reformist because that is only a show. Saying they are reformist is just like saying Dianne Feinstein is a reformist. They are ceneter’ist whom benefit from current situation and do not care about people. And their reformist figures is just to use and get peoples vote. Other than one (yes, from 150 reformist in Iran congress, only one has defended people) no of those reformist do care or participate in political discussions.
