0705 GMT: We start simply simply this morning. Were Wednesday's protests, following the closure of the Tehran Bazaar, merely a limited expression of discontent over the economic situation and the Government's handling of the situation? Was this merely a combination of frustration that, for "security reasons", shops had to be shut and of Bazaaris, normally supportive of the regime, highlighting their concern?
Or is this the start of a convergence between the deteriorating economy and a political challenge to those in power?
While we look towards today's developments, we post a summary in a separate feature, "A Currency's Fall, Bazaar Closed, Protests...."
