Iran marks revolution day amid tight security

Thursday, February 11, 2010 TEHRAN: Hundreds of thousands of Iranians gathered Thursday at a Tehran square to mark the 31st anniversary of the Islamic revolution amid tight security and reports of opposition protesters massing on the streets. Ahmadinejad in his address was reportedly expected to reveal more details about Iran's controversial nuclear programme. The elite Revolutionary Guards and police have warned they will crack down heavily on any protests which, since they first erupted last June, have threatened the very pillars of the Islamic regime and split the senior clergy.
