Iran - There are few foreign journalists in Iran and media is heavily restricted. Iran's story goes back to 1979 and last year. In 1979, the had a pro Islamic and anti American Revolution. (They didn't like America because America was supporting a dictator who was stopping them from having any freedom of religion or assembly, etc.) Since then, Iran's new leaders have become very corrupt and unpopular. Last year, they had an "election" in which the person who probably won was told that he actually lost by the Supreme Leader. Since the rest of the Middle East has risen up, Iranians have started to rise up.
This was Iran last year during the elections of 2010 - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KcHT8-ps64w from the BBC

Libya - There are few foreign journalists and many restrictions on media in Libya (much like China and Iran). However, we do have a speech from Qaddafi's son http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-middle-east-12520586 from BBC News which got the film from the State Media of Libya
Question - Why are so many people answering questions in English?
PS - There are some early reports that Muammar Qaddafi, the dictator of Libya, has fled the country for Venezuela. Watch the news tonight to see if it's true or not.
PS 2 - Again, I know that you don't understand the gravity of the situation of this yet, but it will certainly be important for the future.
