TOPIC: "Iran: Blood in the streets" "Breaking point for Iran?" "Your Questions on Iran" "Obama on Iran protests" (CNN 12/28/09)
I turned to CNN today and went searching for Iran clips on YouTube. Of course, only one with sufficient world coverage is CNN - quite an advantage they have round the world.. BUT in this case, Iran does not allow foreign reporters, and CNN has overcome that with good indigenous US reporting by people with connections to Iran. Here are two clips that give a good summary of current situation in Iran. Well done CNN. CNN December 28: Blood in the streets
Deadly clashes between protesters and police rock the streets of Iran. CNN's Reza Sayah reports.
============================== CNN December 28: Breaking Point for Iran?
Babak, an Iranian American returned from Tehran this June, offers perspective on the significance of the new protests.

CNN December 28: Your questions on Iran
CNN's Reza Sayah answers viewer questions about the ongoing protests in Tehran.
============================== CNN December 28: Obama on Iran protests
President Obama discusses the recent protests in Iran and calls for the release of all those who are "unjustly detained."
==============================
The President of US has finally made a statement of sorts on the civil situation in Iran. Now, it could have been stronger and more heartfelt.. but at least there is a statement.
Meanwhile, Iran has just 3 days left to comply with the UN demands in regard to the nuclear power situation there. And, there are no indications that Iran will budge from their position. So, now what??
