TEHRAN -- WORST VIOLENCE IN DECADE
The violence is the worst seen in Tehran in 10 years.
Mahmoud Ahmadinejad was declared the winner of Iran's presidential poll.
“The sky was thick with black smoke. Police attacked the crowd with sticks and maybe teargas.
Riot police used batons and tear gas against backers of Mir Hossein Mousavi...,” as one BBC reporter, John Simpson put it:
“Thousands of opposition supporters have clashed with police...”
Mousavi, who called the results a "charade.” has also claimed victory, as his supporters said the election had been stolen and vowed to appeal for a re-run.” But observers say this would have little chance of success.
Israel is running out of options. Ahmadinejad will very likely continue its efforts at making a bomb. And this will tighten the tension like a violin string.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, has been pressured by Obama into accepting the creation of a Palestinian state. And naturally Palestinian leader Mahmoud Abbas rejected the plan.
In fact, Mr Abbas's spokesman Nabil Abu Rdainah said: "Netanyahu's remarks have sabotaged all initiatives, paralysed all efforts being made and challenges the Palestinian, Arab and American positions," Reuters news agency reported.
Netanyahu won’t go much further.

So what does all this mean?
Israel is running out of options. Ahmadinejad will very likely continue its efforts at making a bomb. And this will tighten the tension like a violin string.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, has been pressured by Obama into accepting the creation of a Palestinian state. And naturally Palestinian leader Mahmoud Abbas rejected the plan.
