[Bullfax.com - Market News & Analysis] Egypt Live Report | www.bullfax.com: Hundreds of thousands of Iranians, chanting slogans supporting the Arab uprisings and denouncing the United States, marched towards a Tehran square Friday to mark the 32nd anniversary of the Islamic revolution which toppled the shah.Men, women and children, braving the cold and cloudy weather, were seen marching from several parts of Tehran towards Azadi Square (Freedom Square) where President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad is due to address them."Egyptians, Tunisians, your uprisings are just and we are with you," the crowds were heard chanting as they arrived at the square.

[News On Iran] News On Iran: Iran marks revolution, puts pressure on opposition: President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad reiterated the authorities' view -- challenged by their political opponents -- that the uprisings in Tunisia and against Egypt's President Hosni Mubarak are an "Islamic awakening" similar to Iran's revolution. Most opposition groups in Egypt, .

[Ya Libnan] Egypt's revolution terrifies Iran's hardliners: Just two weeks later, after Ahmadinejad criticized the direction of the negotiations between the two sides, Nabil Abu Rodeina, spokesman for the Palestinian Authority, said, “A person who is not representative of the Iranian people, has committed electoral fraud, has repressed the Iranian people and stolen power, cannot speak about Palestine.”

It was a pretty clumsy attempt, however, and I doubt it will cause even a ripple, given the drama of events elsewhere and the pointed rejection of the Supreme Leader's attempt last week by Egyptian groups, including the Muslim Brotherhood.

[The Diplomat] Echoes of Cairo In Tehran | The Diplomat: Having successfully beaten back the grassroots protests that emerged following the patently fraudulent re-election of Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad in June 2009, the powers-that-be in Tehran remain wary of any instances of public dissent—and eager to make an object lesson of such transgressions. They have thus turned up the heat on the Green Movement in recent months through a series of not-so-subtle political moves.

[TehranReview] When despair leaves our hearts | TehranReview: Let me inhale deeply, then breathe out calmly and tell you why: I am stressed about the 25th of Bahman, the day on which a protest march will be held in Tehran in solidarity with the people of Egypt. Khamenei himself addressing 'his' people during the Friday prayer of February 4th was a mere sign of fear, just as there is a great deal of fear in Ahmadinejad's boastful announcement this week that Iran will launch 'many home-built satellites in 2012' - 'news' that is .

[Indigenous People's Literature Weblog] Women, Islam, Egypt, and Iran: Another important difference pertains to leadership of opposition to the regime, which was unified under Khomeini in Iran, compared with a relative vacuum of leadership in the Egyptian revolution. Should the US-educated Nobel Peace Prize laureate in 2005 and former head of the International Atomic Energy Agency, Mohamed ElBaradei, assume the helm of a transitional government, it is a fair bet that he will resist any attempt by others, eg, the Muslim Brotherhood, to substantially revise the country’s hitherto pro-West demeanor.

Rakel identifies the multiple state institutions of the Islamic Republic of Iran (IRI) - the supreme leader, the religious supervisory bodies, the republican institutions (the executive, the judiciary, and the legislative branches), and the military institutions - and argues that the political elite is comprised of a far more diverse set of actors than is commonly believed.  By charting changes in the political landscape from 1979 to 2008, Rakel demonstrates that, while there are no political parties in the IRI, political factions in essence act as parties, injecting a degree of pluralism into the political system through regular parliamentary elections.

[Hot Air » Top Picks] Obamateurism of the Day « Hot Air: As for Sunnis and Shiites unable to work together, Iran has a bit of a deadline looming: January 20, 2013–when it is very likely someone will be coming to the Presidency with an item at the top of his or her agenda called, “Stop dicking around in Iran and bust heads.” Even if the ayatollahs can’t stand the Muslim Brotherhood, the MBs are a lot more likely to back up Iranian actions against Israel than Mubarak would.

Panahi, the agent provocateur who always has a slight smile on his face, has put the regime in a tight spot.
