Iran is in total chaos. On the one side you have the people who voted for the sitting president Mahmoud and on the other side there are the people led by reformist nominee Mousavi. Mahmoud won the recent presidential election, but the opposition are screaming for a fixed election and demand a new election.
There has been massive streetfights between the two groups and in some demonstrations several hundred thousand has participated.
A lot of people have been killed or injured and demonstrators have been tortured and even killed after being inprisoned. Now there is rumours about the presidents own revolutionairy guard are getting involved, a military group which is known for using extreem violence.
Because the country is so extremly devided and force and violent outbreakes takes place all over the country it seems like this is a conflict that won't resolve itself.
Is Iran headed for a civil war, and if so, how would that affect the rest of the world? According to american newsreports Iran is an highrisk nuclear nation and if the sitting president takes total control i think that it would be easier for Iran to continue their nuclear program.
I just wan't to appologize for poor english grammar and vocabulary.
EDIT: By the way, here is a picture of the infamous Revolutionairy Guard.
