2009 marked the 30th anniversary of the fall of the Shah of Iran and the establishment of a new Islamic Republic to replace the monarchy. But a questionable presidential election in 2009 also sparked the largest anti-government demonstrations in Iran since that revolution. VOA senior correspondent Gary Thomas reports on a tumultuous time in Iran.
These protests have nothing to the with the nuclear power issue. iranians are dying in the streets to get their freedom back after 30 years. They just need support. I'm sure the nuclear issue will be solved after Ahmadinejad is out of the picture. If you are really concerned with this issue just support the people.

US and Israel are just looking for ways to take the Iranian oil! Maybe US and Israel could be an example for the world and dismantle their large supply of nuclear weapons and they won't look like the hypocrites of the world! Iran needs to protect itself somehow.
