5:30 PM ET -- A woman weeps. Two Iranian-Americans send over the transcript, posted below. "Had tears in my eye while doing it," one wrote.

Tomorrow is Saturday. Tomorrow is a day of destiny.

Tonight, the cries of Allah-o Akbar are heard louder and louder than the nights before.

Where is this place? Where is this place where every door is closed? Where is this place where people are simply calling God? Where is this place where the sound of Allah-o Akbar gets louder and louder?

I wait every night to see if the sounds will get louder and whether the number increases. It shakes me. I wonder if God is shaken.

Where is this place that where so many innocent people are entrapped? Where is this place where no one comes to our aid? Where is this place that only with our silence we are sending our voices to the world? Where is this place that the young shed blood and then people go and pray -- standing on that same blood and pray. Where is this place where the citizens are called vagrants?

Where is this place? You want me to tell you? This place is Iran. The homeland of you and me.
This place is Iran.

and they almost to a t say, Ok, yeah, that's great - so what. And I watch this and get tears in my eyes at this moment in history not unlike our country 200+ years ago. I wish them every blessing.

4. Translation by mojdehiran on youtube

Friday , the 29th of khordad 1388. Tomorrow is Saturday. Tomorrow is (I don't exactly know what she says sorry). Tonight the sound of "Allaho Akbar" is heard louder and louder than any other night. Where is this place? Where is this place that everything is closed upon it? Where is this place that the people only call the name of God? Where is this place that the sound of "Allaho Akbar" gets louder and louder every night?

Everyday I wait for the night come and see if the sound of "Allaho Akbar" gets louder or not. If I hear more or not. My body is shaking. I wonder if God is shaking too. Where is this place that we innocent people are being jailed? Where is this place that no one even remembers us? Where is this place that we are letting the people hear us with our silence?

Where is this place that the house of the youth is being filled and the people stand outside and pray? They stand on the same house and pray. Where is this place that everyone is being killed. Where is this place? Do you want me to tell you? It's Iran. It's my country and yours. It's Iran.
