I have an interesting connection to some of this stuff. My aunt by marriage is native Iranian, and has family still living there now (they are, of course, pretty freaking liberal considering their daughter moved to the States to be a college professor, so you can imagine which side of the conflict they're on.) She was hosting a large amount of information, photos, etc. on her Facebook page from a variety of personal connections, but then a few days ago she took down large parts of it. All she would say is that "it occurred to her" that there was some stuff that "could cause problems." She wouldn't elaborate, but I suspect she's genuinely afraid for, or even received direct threats to, her relatives. This is not a woman who typically backs down from freaking anything. This more than anything has convinced me that things are very, very bad over there right now.
