Supreme Leader Orders Probe of Iran Election Fraud



I have no idea how to digest this but it strikes me as a welcome sign:
Iran's supreme leader Ayatollah Khamenei has ordered an investigation into claims of fraud in the contested presidential elections held last Friday.

The surprising announcement on Iran's state television comes hours after the government banned a planned protest by supporters of defeated opposition candidate Mir Hossein Mousavi in Tehran and other Iranian cities.

Khamenei has asked the exclusive Guardian Council to examine charges by Mousavi of widespread vote rigging during the election.

More video of the millions of people in the streets of Iran:





And some recent tweets out of Tehran:
There are reports of about 3M ppl out on the streets. Millions of people marching in absolute silence.

PlayedMousavi's song with my piano, leaving all the windows open, and was greeted by calls of "Alaho akbar"!
