Politics Mideast: Iran: protesters chanting “death to the dictator” as they walked down Valiasr Street, Tehran, I ran

In Iran, the govt anticipates the end of the month of Ramadan, and sponsors a Jerusalem Day. This year, thousands of opposition demonstraters held a parallel march, including along Valiasr Street that cuts across much of the city of Teheran (protest demos took place in several other cities as well).

In the official program, Prez Ahmadi-Nejab raised his anti-semititic denial of the Holocaust to new h+ts, apparently moving in the style of his expression, from the word "myth" to "lie" -- that is, the Iranian re-elected but protested Prez says the Holocaust is a lie.
