Tip for best answer: M$0.25
Separate topics with commas, or by pressing return. Use the delete or backspace key to edit or remove existing topics.

You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

Basically there was a vote. The results were calculated suspiciously fast (within about 4 hours compared to the usual at least 24 hours) and Ahmadinejad was declared the victor, however many people believe the results were rigged and ran to the streets to protest.

When Mahmoud Ahmadinejad was declared the landslide victor in Iran's presidential election - less than 24 hours after polls closed - the shock on the streets of Tehran was palpable.

Mr Ahmadinejad had won 63% of the vote, his challenger, Mir Hossein Mousavi, 34%.

"I thought at least 80-90% of Tehrani voters were in favour of Mousavi, I can't really believe it," said one man.

Disbelief quickly turned to anger and hundreds of thousands of Mr Mousavi's supporters came out in protest.

But Iran's Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamanei, the final authority on all constitutional matters, has stood by the result, saying the Islamic Republic "would not betray the vote of the people".

If you are interested in following current events, I recommend the BBC news website. Not only will you be able to follow the current events but they provide good background analysis of major subjects. They are also famed for their balanced presentation.

It also helps to browse the articles in Google News, which are taken from all the newpapers and media around the world.

With some effort, you could avoid seeming ignorant, which is inevitable if you just chat online.

Election. Fraud. Protests. Crackdown. At least 10 dead. Censorship. Simmering anger.
