  <body>As we all know there is a national movement in Iran and specially it's capital Tehran. &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.guardian.co.uk/news/blog/2009/jun/15/iranian-elections&quot;&gt;When election result went wrong in Iran&lt;/a&gt;, the people felt that all these years things were not as they were supposed to be. People started to march in the streets and ask for their rights, to get back their votes because they felt the results were fake. 

In the middle of June, there was a massacre in Iran. World media announced deaths approximately around 8, but people and independent news agencies believe they were lot more. People reacted more seriously as Karoubi and especially Mousavi (two of the candidates) supported them. However, the more the protests, the more the people of Iran were restless and people began to fight with governmental forces. 

21st June there was a huge fight all around Iran and especially in Tehran. State media announced around 13 dead, but it looked much much more while human rights organization announced 150 deaths. The protests do not end, stay tuned for more updates here.</body>
