This video is from Al Jazeera.
And a recap of the previous round.

It’s interesting that the opposition has chosen green for its theme color. I wonder what the western green parties have to say about that. Do they identify with them?

It was associated with the symbol of the opposition presidential candidate, but now it symbolizes the movement for democracy as a whole.

Rachel Maddow reports a reversal of sorts from last summer. Back then the protesters were wearing masks. Now the security forces are wearing them. Are they afraid the days of their government is numbered and don’t want to be held accountable?

Hmmm. I wonder how many Green Party members in the west would view their Iranian counterparts as tools of neo-conservatism or even Zionism.

I don’t think many of those of us who are critical of US interventions and destabilizations are enamored with the Iranian government.
