Is This What We're Supposed To Be "Stunned" By, Mahmoud?

Lifted from the comments section at Atlas this morning:

Things are getting ugly in Tehran. See Blogs:

Helicopters flying very low just north of Azadi Square.
Very large crowd, mix of Basijis and protesters, near University Street, close to Tehran University.
Despite massive security presence, pockets of protesters holding green ribbons and other distinctive signs have amassed on the north and west sides of Azadi Square and their number is growing.

Oh, by the way, Mahmoud says Iran is now a 'A NUCLEAR STATE'.

Congratulations, Mah-mah-monkey. Good luck with that.

Anonymous wonders:

Perhaps a'jad is dyslexic. He boasts Iran is a NUclear state, when in actuality his country is experiencing an UNclear state - what with all the protests against his 'revolutionary' regime.

Yes, that makes more sense.

I'm a bit more stunned than at first, but not really that much. What about you?
