Comment(by cda):

 Interestingly, Tor gained ~20,000 Iranian users and then lost them again
 within the course of last week. No real political or social reason for
 this, as opposed to when Google was blocked in October. I am more inclined
 to think that there is really something going on here, despite having had
 people check on at least four ISPs.
