At this point, I assume I don't need to fill any of y'all in on the harrowing news coming out of Iran this past week. It seems everyone I speak with has a pretty good grasp of what's going on- or what appears to be going on. Suffice to say, the eyes of the world will be looking to the Ayatollah's address tomorrow (Friday). Until then, we'll have to rely on the same tired old footage looped on CNN or Fox... unless you're an advocate of Twitter.
The following Tweeters were featured in my previous articles, Iranocalypse and Tweets from Iran. In light of the Iranian government's continuing crackdown on communications, I've only included Tweets from the past ten hours- the later evening / early morning hours for the Iranian time-zone.
Sadly, It appears that many of my sources have been silenced in the past few days. The amount of Tweets coming out of the beleaguered nation has slowed to a trickle.
Please keep in mind, a tweet cannot be accepted as the whole and unfiltered truth- but the following missives can be considered as close to an approximation of the truth as we're likely to get right now.

Please, do an Examiner a favor... if you've got a Twitter account, go ahead and follow these guys. Their voices need to be heard by as many people as possible.
