Comments: Over 12,000 feared dead after Iran protests, as video shows bodies lined up at morgueInformation trickling out of Iran on Tuesday suggests that a crackdown by authorities to end more than two weeks of widespread anti-government protests has likely been far more deadly than activists outside the country have reported. With phone lines opening back up for calls from inside the Islamic Republic, two sources, including one inside Iran, told CBS News on Tuesday that at least 12,000, and possibly as many as 20,000 people have been killed.Over 12,000 feared dead after Iran protests, as video shows bodies lined up at morgue - CBS News Comments:

Nottingham Forest’s hunt for a new striker has seen them draw up a four-man shortlist featuring Iran international Mehdi Taremi of Olympiacos, as well as Wolverhampton Wanderers striker Jorgen Strand Larsen.
Forest are one of several clubs monitoring the potential availability of Strand Larsen, whereas Taremi is on the club’s radar because of his similarities to Chris Wood at a time when last season’s top scorer is missing after a knee operation.
Taremi is a vastly experienced striker who joined Greek side Olympiacos from Inter Milan last summer, having helped the Italian club reach last season’s Champions League final.
Aged 33, Taremi has made more than 100 appearances for Iran and has a proven scoring record, especially during five years in Portugal when he averaged better than a goal every two games for Rio Ave and then Porto.
He was stopped from joining his Inter team-mates at last summer’s Club World Cup in the U.S., having been unable to get out of the Iranian Tehran because of the conflict between his nation and Israel.
If Forest are to follow up their initial interest, it should help that their owner, Evangelos Marinakis, is also in charge at Olympiacos.
