The term is cyberwar and it's history in the making. People are gathering from every corner of the world to aid the Iranian protesters. The Iran Election Protest is the Millennials' rally and they rule the Internet. They know the power of the internet, they are making history and they are the future. I have great faith in them.

Iran Election Protest Tweet Updates

Received from a province far away from Tehran:

"There we were facing the bloodthirsty riot police, hand in hand, like that 'Brothers in Arms' song from Dire Straits." It was in that moment that I realized why the French Revolutionaries added "Fraternity" to their revolutionary slogan.

"Liberté, égalité, fraternité," indeed.

Tweet From Iran : huffingtonpost.com

""It's painful to watch what's happening.
I only want to speak about what I have witnessed. I am a medical student. There was chaos last night at the trauma section in one of our main hospitals. Last night, nine people died at our hospital and another 28 had gunshot wounds. They (government) removed the dead bodies on back of trucks, before we were even able to get their names or other information. What can you even say to people who don't even respect the dead.

Second Tweet from HuffingtonPost

Some of my sources in Iran told me Ayatollah Rafsanjani, head of the Assembly of Experts -- the eighty-six member clerical body that decides who will be the next Supreme Leader, and is, by the way, the only group that is empowered to remove the Supreme Leader from power -- have issued an emergency meeting in Qom.

There's only one reason for the Assembly of Experts to meet at this point and that is to actually talk about what to do about Khamenei. We're talking about the very legitimacy, the very foundation of the Islamic Republic is up in the air right now. It's hard to say what this is going to go.

Another Tweet concerning the above: An informed Iranian-American, "I think Rafasanjani is not going to ask for Khamenei's removal, but is bluffing to force Khamenei to drop support of Ahmadinejad.
