1st UPDATE: 1:05 p.m. EST: The expected protests with the expected results are taking place in Iran.
ORIGINAL POST: And what a way to celebrate!
First, the president confirms that the country has enriched its uranium, but the validity of that claim has come under question.
Then, the government clamps down -- and probably violently -- on any attempts to protest the direction the country has moved in recent years.
Next, that same government has shut down one of the world's most-popular search engines -- Google.
And overshadowing all of this is the internal battle for who deserves (a loosely used term) to be considered the rightful heir of Ayatollah Khomeini, who ushered in the revolution 31 years ago.
