Iran roundup (2)

The BBC estimated attendance at Monday's rallies in Tehran at one to two million -- a huge turnout, even for a city the size of Tehran. And don't forget that the uprising is nationwide, with clashes in Isfahan, Shiraz, Mashhad, Tabriz, Ahvaz, and other cities. More protests are planned for today.
