United Nations human rights officials report Iranian security forces in Kurdish cities killed dozens of protesters this week alone, with each funeral turning into a mass rally against the central government. \u201cThe defiance has been astounding,\u201d says Middle East studies professor Nahid Siamdoust, who reported for years from Iran, including during the 2009 Green Movement, and calls the protests a \u201cnationwide revolution.\u201d Democracy Now! is an independent global news hour that airs on over 1,500 TV and radio stations Monday through Friday.
