Not unexpectedly, the regime in Tehran has responded with force, using tear gas, paintballs and clubs to disperse peaceful protesters. They have also begun jamming satellite news programs and censoring the internet. I guess they missed that face that these measures failed in Egypt.

This could get interesting. It could also get very bloody. Unlike Egypt, I don't thing the Iranian military is going to refuse to attack protestors.

Agreed on this not being really all that surprising. News of what happened in Egypt was bound to spread to those throughout the region upset with their present government. In this case thought, I would expect a very bloody and unsuccessful attempt to change things in Iran.
