Iran: It´s building..

Analysis
Jon Leyne, BBC News, Tehran:

"The opposition is keeping up the pressure.
On the other side
I get the impression the government hasn't really worked out
a comprehensive response, instead they're sort of harassing
the opposition.

There have been more arrests of opposition
figures - not the most senior leaders, but still pretty well-known
names. They've been sending in their thugs, basically, their militia,
to attack student dormitories, and they've been arresting journalists.

At the moment, there's absolutely no sign of loss of momentum, in fact it's building."

What this election result has unleashed is just a deep frustration,
an anger that I've certainly sensed in the two years I've lived here.
People are so frustrated and angry with the system, which seems to
treat them with contempt.
