There are rumors - rumors, mind you - that Hashemi Rafsanjani has been detained by authorities. Rafsanjani is a former president, the head of the Expediency Council, and a key figure on the Assembly of Experts.

If true, this is huge. Will update as more info comes along.

UPDATE: Speculation is abound, especially in Iran judging from the 'tweets' I've been reading. There are rumors that Rafsanjani has resigned, and that Mir-Hossein Mousavi has been placed under house arrest.

Please note, none of this has been confirmed. However, it's telling of what has gone down in Tehran in a mere 24 hours. Yesterday's scenes of joy and song have now been replaced by fire, violence, and fear.

What happens next is anyone's guess.
