Mullahs on the Brink? Riot Police defecting to support protesters

This development seems like it could be a watershed.

So far I cannot find any confirmation of this in the major media.

Mahabad is in a Kurdish area in far western Iran. The idea that there are anti-government protests there is hardly surprising, nor does it necessarily mean much for the rest of the country.

Another factor is that the US government has been pushing regime change in Iran for decades, and Twitter is banned in Iran. What appears on Twitter is frequently just US propaganda.

Here is an alternant view from Iran that provides some perspective on the situation.
