Iran Curbs Internet, Foreign Media Ahead of Protests
----------------------------------------------------

correspondents have been ordered to remain in their offices today.
Tehran residents, meanwhile, say their internet access has been limited,
with curbs on websites loyal to the Iranian political opposition.
