TEHRAN, Iran (AFP) — Iran's opposition will go ahead with a planned rally in Tehran despite a government warning against new protests, an aide to defeated presidential candidate Mehdi Karroubi told AFP.

"I have not heard anything indicating that the rally has been cancelled," he said on condition of anonymity.

The rally will be held at 4:00 pm (1130 GMT) at Tehran's Enghelab square as announced before by Karroubi, he said.

So less than 4 hours to go for the now confirmed showdown between the militias and the Iranian people. Pray for the militias to show restraint, and allow this peaceful demonstration. Not that we expect them to.

Khamenei sees those supporters serving him because they are warped in the head like him, but are not anywhere near the numbers of those who protest against him.

He even brings in arabs from abroad to kill his own people, support him with fascist chanting and even cry for him. Absolutely Pathetic!

I do hope the regime is reading these forums. Yes you Islamic regime you disgusting entity, you are pathetic pathetic pathetic!!!

My only hope is that the good guys over there win and don't see a sleight of hand, like another government interfering because it makes good economic sense for a few elite's stock.

Reports of 150 dead today in Tehran, other cities just as bad or worse. Acid thrown on crowds from choppers also confirmed, and basij militias killing anyone who's gone hurt into hospitals.

European embassys taking wounded, basij blocking embassies and forcing embassy staff to leave. Could see european casualties too.

Some examples, today basij shot a pregant women, an 80 yr old woman, 12 yr old boy, many young women, a woman stood on her roof was shot thru' her heart.

Many now marching from other cities to Tehran maybe to capture to use or burn down state tv propaganda station. God knows what outcome will be when basij meet them. Orders are to shoot protestors on sight.

Army are stuck in barracks, some may be ready to revolt and take on the basij.

What happens next is anyone's guess
