CNN says that Rafsanjani's speech is underway, but not even Iranian TV is airing it. Instead, the regime is broadcasting the following on its five channels:

1) a discussion on havij bastani (an Iranian desert with carrots and ice cream)

2) a 1986 Japanese cartoon

3) an Indian movie

4) an even cheesier Iranian movie

5) a documentary on the Iran-Iraq war
