It's 9:20 a.m. in Iran, as I write this, and I'm not seeing news of any protests yet (not a huge surprise -- it's still early). But there's this story from yesterday to whet your appetite.

Iran's authorities are hoping that Wednesday's fourth anniversary of bloody student riots here will go off with a whimper rather than a bang, having taken almost every measure within their powers to avert a resumption of anti-regime demonstrations.

In a bid to prevent student activists from even thinking about staging a rally to mark the 1999 unrest, during which at least one student was killed and hundreds were injured or arrested, the government has slapped a ban on all off-campus gatherings.
