Iran Opposition Plans Protests
Iranian police deployed across Tehran (al-Jazeera) in expectation of activist rallies supporting the unrest in Egypt. Authorities said they fear a repeat of the protests that flared after 2009's controversial election.
Continued unrest in Egypt is stirring tensions between Iran's hardliners and opposition movement and stoking concerns that an Iran-friendly Egyptian regime could upset the regional balance of power.
