You have to be smoking to think that the CIA has nothing to do with this.
I think the CIA helped to ignite and strengthen these movements since the beginning of talks about invading Iran.
I have a couple of questions for you.
1. why would the US invade Iran?
2. is the CIA evil?

Iranian police said on Wednesday that they are still holding 300 of the 500 "rioters" they arrested at the weekend when opposition supporters staged protests during a Shiite religious commemoration.
The Mujahedin-e-Khalq Organization (MKO) has acknowledged that it played a role in Sunday's violent anti-government protests in Iran.
MKO followers cooperated with the demonstrators and coordinated the protests, the organization's leader Maryam Rajavi told AFP in Paris on Tuesday

If the CIA could take credit for this, it would be all over the main stream western media with the call to action that "The time to invade Iran is now."
This story is not being covered by our media for precisely the opposite reason. This is a HEARTFELT popular uprising by citizens who are sick and tired of being oppressed and they have reached a collective realization that they indeed have the power. They are finally reacting to that realization.
