Sadly no uprsising will occur while the mollas are in place. They have very well conected friends and as long as those friends want them there they will stay, they've only been in power for 30 odd years now dont forget.

Its mainly crap tbh my friend. Its a joke, a facade to make the world think the religious nutjobs that run the country for their own benefit are giving the people a say.
Sorry to say it but if the people try and rise up a lot of blood will be shed on the streets like it was the last time the students tried to speak up for freedom.
A "recent" development in Iran was that women were allowed to drive a car or ride motorbikes WITHOUT A MALE ESCORT!!!! But only if their job requires it, ie a doctor who is femae and needs to get out and about to see patients.
otherwise its still the same for most women...not allowed out of the house without a male member of the family accompanying them.
When the powers who put the mollas in place want to see a change of the puppets they have in place and only then, will there be a change of "leadership". I wish it werent so but thats just the way it is.

It was a popular uprising that forced the Shah out. However, most Iranian students I knew were appalled at the time their liberal and cultured country was becoming an intolerant and extremist nation run by islamic fundamentalists.
My Iranian friends still go back there, they tell me that if you do not make waves, life is comfortable for the educated and well placed. But for the majority is difficult.
I personally cannot see a secular Iran happening in my lifetime, once the religious lot get power, it takes a 1000 years to get rid of them, look to rome as an example of religious power over governments
Every cloud n all that ;)
Sorry but I find this comment slighty offensive - not in an 'omg how can you say such an outrageous thing. You should be strung up' but more of a 'Oh dear, it's still OK for someone to have a pop at people not like themselves'
I know, I know, I'm just being a woolly liberal politically correct Guardian reader, but such comments make me cringe, even when said in jest (as I know it was ;))

Nice turn of events today showign just how "Open" and "democratic" the rulers of Iran are. They have today banned almost all internet useage and blocked most mobile phone signals and stopped all mobile text messages being sent or recieved.
they have also banned all foreign journos from going out of their hotels and reporting from the streets. this last bit is at least a teeny tiny bit better than israels disgusting banning of all foreign jounos as it went about its massacre in Gaza a few months ago.
Either way, nothing over there is about to change any time soon. As Tim rightly says, let the religious mob in and it'll take a hell of a long time to get them out again. Unless their masters "engineer" it that they go, as the Shah's masters did when it was his time to go.

I find religious fanaticists more worrying and all too powerful, in so many places. I know how lucky i am to be able to express my views without fear
