Khatami


Update: Photo above is old:
Iranian journalist Omid Memarian posted this image of a turbanless Mr. Khatami on his blog in the immediate aftermath of the June 12 election so clearly the person who uploaded it to iReport today was misinformed or attempting to mislead us. This continues to be a problem for news organizations forced to rely on anonymous bloggers who are frequently also partisan activists for information from countries that close their doors to independent reporters. We appreciate the crowd-sourcing help from readers very much.

Below are tweets coming out of Iran today. As always, they should be read with caution until confirmed:
