SOMETHING'S happening in Iran, it seems:

A few minutes ago on May 5, 2011, Arab TV announced that Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khameini requested Iran's President Ahmadinejad to step down from his post. This has not been confirmed nor verified by Western media as yet, however, it has been reported that several of his close aides are already under arrest.

Of course this is not independently confirmed, but it's far from the first sign of a serious internal rift in the regime. Stay tuned.
