VOA's Persian News Network on their personal accounts on the social networking site Facebook show thousands of opposition supporters marching in the streets of Tehran. Other videos, purportedly recorded by citizens and posted on Facebook and YouTube, show angry crowds throwing stones at police on a busy Tehran street. Mr. Ahmadinejad's rivals have accused him of badly mismanaging the economy and tarnishing Iran's image, further isolating the country from the West. The Iranian president has denied the Holocaust and called for Israel to be wiped off the map.
Saturday, Israel's Deputy Foreign Minister Danny Ayalon said the election results depicting Mr. Ahmadinejad's victory demonstrate that the "Iranian threat" has grown. Ayalon also said the international community must stop the nuclear program and terrorism coming from Iran. While media restrictions have prevented coverage of some of the street protests in Tehran, videos of the demonstrations have been pouring in over social media networks.
