And on top of all that, Iran's election is now, officially, not so much of a "brilliant gem which is shining on the peak of dignity of the Iranian nation.” From today's New York Times:

Threatening to crush dissent, the powerful Revolutionary Guards warned protesters Monday that they would face a “revolutionary confrontation” if they returned to the streets to challenge the presidential election results in defiance of the country’s leadership...

The warning, on the Guards’ Web site, was issued despite an admission by Iran’s most senior panel of election monitors that the number of votes cast in 50 cities exceeded the actual number of voters, according to a state television report two days after the country’s supreme leader pronounced the ballot to be fair.

The discrepancies, the most sweeping acknowledged so far by the authorities, could affect some three million ballots of what the government says was 40 million cast, giving the victory to President Mahmoud Ahmedinajad.

But the authorities insisted that the discrepancies did not violate Iranian law.
