Iran is experiencing some of the most extreme protests and riots the country has seen in decades, which is saying a lot considering the Middle East isn’t the sweetest place in the world. Iranian supporters of presidential candidate Hossein Mousavi are upset at their candidates loss and believe it was not a true democratic election. They claim President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad’s re-election was rigged and have taken to the streets to express their outrage.
Social Media is playing a role in the dispute more than ever before.
