The Iranian protest groundswell may be a historic event

Not every element of the power structure is on the same page regarding some very basic rules of the Revolution:

In a blow to the Ayatollah, Iranian police announced they would not arrest women who refused to abide by Islamic dress code. “Those who do not observe the Islamic dress code will no longer be taken to detention centers, nor will judicial cases be filed against them,” Tehran police chief General Hossein Rahimi said to the press.

And some of the chants being heard at various protest sites express a refusal to sacrifice Iranian lives for the regime's involvement in Gaza, Lebanon and Syria.
