More in Iran

WaPo and CNN offering decent coverage , but i also like the UK's Times Online coverage here.

For me, the best two sources to follow for real time information and analysis are iran.twazzup.com, probaly the best aggregator of tweets alongside other coverage, and Enduring America's continuing live blog work. Twazzup is a great real-time portal of sources and info, while EA provides a little more context and narrative. Between these two, you should have most of your immediate info needs and feeds covered.

Interesting to note how mainstream media, as posted in the first graf, still isn't up to that specialized kind of task and coverage that EA and Twazzup offer. MSM does have its place, especially if youre not up to speed on what's going on, but the first two sources I'm checking are twazzup and EA -- over and above any MSM, the value of which, for me at least, continues to erode in a news event like this.

ASLANmedia Is also compiling good info with tweets and retweets, and Manic77 is also tweeting again, mostly in Farsi.

onlymehdi is uploading a lot of YouTube videos from the ground, including this one tweeted just about an hour ago:



Several of his earlier in the day show the scope and scale of what's going on:




Hope the bookmarks help for those interested. Meanwhile, I'm watching, praying and supporting.
