Steve Clemons / The Washington Note:
Iran: There Will Be Blood  —  (To get a feel for what is going on in the streets of Tehran, watch this linked BBC video clip.)  —  Last night in London after appearing on Keith Olbermann's show, I got an email from a well-connected Iranian who knows many of the power figures in the Tehran political order asking to meet me.

Or, he won  —  New America's Flynt Leverett is the first American analyst I've heard suggest the claims of massive fraud are wishful thinking:  —  Leverett: I would have been surprised if he had lost.  The Western media overstated the surge of his main opponent Mir Hossein Mousavi over the last couple of weeks.

MideastAnalysis.com:
What Happened in Iran?  —  Let us begin by acknowledging that Iran is a complex society with an unusually opaque political system.  Few outsiders genuinely understand the place.  That makes understanding the country's presidential campaign - and interpreting the events of the last 24 hours - particularly tricky.
