Mir Hossein Mousavi's official campaign Twitter.
The National Iranian-American Council liveblog of events from Tehran.
The Daily Kos has a great liveblog too.
Andrew Sullivan's Daily Dish is a good resource.
Here's another Twitter that has been good with updates.
It seems the hardliners in Iran have really dug themselves into a hole this time. Apparently, there really was a massive turnout in favor of Mousavi as there are violent demonstrations in every major city and even many smaller ones. A lot of what I'm reading is that many Iranians who gave up on politics after Khatami's presidency in the late 1990s threw their chips in with Mousavi after seeing change take place elsewhere in the world, as well as the fiery debates before the election that made everyone feel like the people really would have a choice this time. Nobody can really say if Mousavi was actually chosen by the majority, but it begs the question: Where are all the Ahmadinejad supporters celebrating their victory in the streets? Afraid of getting beat up? Possibly, but it's hard not to be cynical as more and more evidence of fraud keeps flooding in. Even if the government can subdue the people by cutting off all communications and using brute force as they've been doing, the repercussions are likely to stretch farther than just today or tomorrow. Some really interesting pieces of news have already surfaced: 120 members of Sharif University have resigned and are holding demonstrations at the university. Also, Grand Ayatollah Sanei has declared Ahmadinejad's presidency illegitimate, which proves that this has reached the highest levels of Iran's government.
A friend sent this article to me late last night; it should probably be taken with a grain of salt but it is suggested reading for anyone who is dying of curiosity about what will happen next (as I am).
Here is an article in Foreign Policy where three Middle East experts discuss where the situation could go next. NIAC (mentioned above) president Trita Parsi's thoughts are the most striking:
Clearly, the anti-Ahmadinejad camp has been taken by surprise and is scrambling for a plan. Increasingly, given their failure to get Khamenei to intervene, their only option seems to be to directly challenge -- or threaten to challenge -- the supreme leader.
Here's where the powerful chairman of the Assembly of Experts, Mousavi supporter Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani, comes in. Only this assembly has the formal authority to call for Khamenei's dismissal, and it is now widely assumed that Rafsanjani is quietly assessing whether he has the votes to do so or not.
It may be that the first steps toward challenging Khamenei have already been taken. After all, Mousavi went over the supreme leader's head with an open letter to the clergy in Qom. Rafsanjani clearly failed to win Khamenei's support in a reported meeting between the two men Friday, but the influential Ali Akbar Mohtashamipour, who heads the vote-monitoring committee for Mousavi and fellow candidate Mehdi Karroubi, has officially requested that the Guardian Council cancel the election and schedule a new vote with proper monitoring.
Wow. So I guess anything could happen. Here's a nice video for you to check out...at about :23 the police ride through on motorcycles and smack people with batons. The people then begin shouting "death to the dictator" and eventually storm the police and awesomely light their motorcycles on fire. Dig:
More updates as they come.
Update @ 11:14 AM - Apparently there is a massive victory rally of Ahmadinejad supporters in Tehran going on now, and thousands of people are present. I will be spending the next few hours removing my foot from my mouth.
