Iran on the edge

It Looks as if The Iranian elections will end in bloodshed after all, both Party's were claiming victory last night. The record Eighty percent turnout favoured the challenger with the Mousavi camp claiming 65% of the vote, Ahmadinejad has called 69%, clearly they cant both be right. As in the 2005 election when an unknown Ahmadinejad came to power there are allegations of vote rigging. The official result is due later this morning, and the country is braced for trouble with isolated pockets of violence already reported in some City's. Whoever is called the winner you can bet that it will not be accepted by the other side. Nobody expects the President to go quietly.
