    Tehran, Iran, Mar. 15 – Iranians in the capital and across the country took part in a night of fiery celebrations that in many places turned into anti-government protests and clashes.

    In central Tehran several vehicles belonging to the State Security Forces and a number of government buildings were attacked and set on fire.

    The following photos were transmitted by local news agencies:

    Tehran, Iran, Mar. 14 – Young people set fire to pictures of Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and former leader Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini in Tehran, according to dissidents in the Iranian capital who sent a photo of their activities to Iran Focus.

    Protestors gathered and burned down posters of Iranian leaders hung on lampposts in Mirdamad Street in Tehran.

    Despite a massive crackdown to prevent this year’s “fire festival” from turning into scenes of anti-governments protests, young people have taken to the streets across Iran to defy the government ban and celebrate the last Tuesday of the Persian year with a big bang.

    Unfortunately I very much doubt that Iran's own people will ever do more than just the quickie protests. In the end it will still be America that has to fell the nation.

    It is the soldier, not the reporter, who has given us freedom of the press.

    It is the soldier, not the poet, who has given us freedom of speech.

    It is the soldier, not the campus organizer, who has given us the freedom to demonstrate.

    It is the soldier who salutes the flag, who serves beneath the flag, and whose coffin is draped by the flag, who allows the protester to burn the flag.
