U.S. President Barack Obama warned his allies in the Arab world from the risk of the Egyptian revolution as if holding back the democratic aspirations of their people, and said he hoped that the Iranians continue to defy their leaders. Obama said it was "ironic" that Iranian leaders "pretend to celebrate what is happening in Egypt while doing exactly the opposite of what happens in Egypt to crack down on people trying to express themselves peacefully." Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said the "enemies" who organized the demonstrations against his government on Monday in Tehran fail.
One person died when police opened fire with tear gas and live ammunition against thousands of mourners gathered in a funeral procession in Bahrain. Officials at the Salmaniya Medical Complex, said a man aged 31 died of wounds from ammunition. The mourners had gathered at the hospital for the funeral procession of a man killed during protests a day earlier inspired by Egypt and Tunisia.
Tuesday's death raises the possibility of more demonstrations and challenges to the monarchy of Bahrain, a strategic partner of the West and Headquarters of the Fifth Fleet of the U.S. Navy. Thousands of people who demanded the resignation of the president of Yemen clashed with police and government supporters in the fifth straight day of protests inspired by Egypt and at least three protesters were injured.
Police tried to disperse the demonstrators with tear gas, batons and tasers, but about three thousand continued the march from the University of Sana'a to the center, chanting "Down with the president's thugs," and other slogans against President Ali Abdullah Saleh. Hundreds of students and human rights activists joined the march.
Egyptian Armed Forces ruled that a committee headed by the independent judge Tareq al-Bishry must finish its work of proposing amendments to the Constitution in 10 days. The plan is then submitted amendments to a referendum, while the Muslim Brotherhood said the emergency law must be lifted and political prisoners should be released now.
A military source said the deposed President Hosni Mubarak, 82 years and who would be in the resort of Sharm el-Sheikh on the Red Sea was "breathing." A source who said he spoke with Mubarak said it was "good" and that he was receiving phone calls.
