An interesting article in 'Nature Magazine' discussed how Iran's "demonization has become passé over the past few weeks, as images of mass protests against Iran's allegedly fraudulent presidential election on 12 June have allowed many in the West to see faces of ordinary Iranians who are far from the crude stereotype." and concluded "We Are All Iranians" http://www.nature.com/nature/journal/v460/n7251/full/460011a.html

Tomorrow the Friday prayer in Tehran will be led by Hashemi Rafsanjani, an opposition leader, and will be attended by Mir-Hussein Moussavi, one of the presidential candidates there protesting the results of the recent election, so it will be a very crucial moment for Iran's people. http://www.nytimes.com/2009/07/17/world/middleeast/17iran.html?_r=1&hp

Interesting article about the son of the 'supreme leader' Khamanei, asking if he is being groomed for his father's replacement:

"Protests prompt emergence of underground Internet newspapers. The recent emergence of internet newspapers in Iran is evidence of the will of Iranian citizens and opposition forces to continue to communicate even as the Islamic Republic intensifies censorship, filtering and repression." http://globalvoicesonline.org/2009/07/16/iran-protests-prompt-emergence-of-underground-internet-newspapers/
