STATEMENT FROM THE PRESIDENT HERE.

Police are beginning to beat protesters in Iran. Some 3,000 protesters, many wearing black, chanted "Death to the dictator!" and "Death to dictatorship!" near Revolution Square in downtown Tehran, setting off fierce clashes with police firing tear gas, water cannons and guns, witnesses said. It was not clear if police were firing live ammunition.

Could this be a civil war? Watching history unfold.

Read this great article on the entire Iran situation at the Huffington Post. It’s fascinating.
