Traditional media outlets like BBC News and The New York Times are providing great analysis of what is happening in Iran right now, but Twitter users are providing the ground details like never before.

These ground details are even more important now that the Iranian government is blocking foreign journalists from reporting on rallies. While the Iranian government may have success blocking foreign journalists from covering rallies, it has no hope of containing the legions of people with mobile phones that can send tweets, photos and videos to the Web.

Here are some tweets from today:

“CONFIRMED!! Army moving into Tehran against protesters! PLEASE RT! URGENT”

“Basij taking cameras. I fear a massive crackdown. Don’t let them into the protest.”

“Try to peacefully keep Army and Basij from keeping formations around the protest. Don’t let them surround you! #iranelection”

“demo today v\peaceful but it is going to change tonight – too many baseej tody #Iranelection”

For those of you who don’t know, Baseej or Basij are decentralized militia that have branches in about every Mosque in Iran. It was created during the 1979 Islamic Revolution in Iran. Many of the basij are young boys (with guns) and have been accused of human rights abuses.

The Basij underwent a revival after Mahmoud Ahmadinejad was elected president. So when someone on Twitter says that demonstrations will no longer be peaceful because of Baseej, it means that young, armed boys are coming out to dispense their own brand of justice in the name of Ahmadinejad.

There have already been several protestors killed because of the Basij. The Iranian government can try all it wants to censor foreign journalists, but it has no hope of stopping every Iranian from reporting with their cell phones.
