one_hoopy_frood has a post about what's happening in Iran. You should read it.
And John Green's video on the same subject:
I'm copying the updates John has made to his video:
UPDATE: Poll out showing pre-election support for Ahmadinijad, but with caveats. More at http://www.fivethirtyeight.com
UPDATE: Iran's supreme leader, Ayatollah Khamenei, has ordered a probe into the allegations of vote fraud.
UPDATE: The twitter link has been shut down. Gchat and yahoo chat have also been shut down in Iran. I'm still getting good updates from http://www.twitter.com/persiankiwi and http://www.twitter.com/tehranbureau Also worth following: http://www.twitter.com/y_shar and http://www.twitter.com/iran09
UPDATE: Dozens of moderate clerics and reformist political leaders in Tehran and around Iran have been arrested. Mousavi himself is apparently not under house arrest, although he is "being closely monitored by police," which sure SEEMS like house arrest. Ayatollah Khameni has restated his position that the election results were fair.
UPDATE: There seems to be significant violence going on at universities around the country, as well as hundreds of arrests and reports of tear gas in the dorms.
