Current Protests Involve a Broad Coalition
[Christian Science Monitor] Christa Case Bryant - Iran expert Robin Wright, a public policy scholar at the Woodrow Wilson Center in Washington, notes that the protest movement is driven by a diverse coalition including two former presidents, a former prime minister, the Islamic world's most politically active women, ethnic minorities, sanctions-strapped businessmen, taxi drivers, famous filmmakers, and members of the national soccer team. But Wright cautions that this movement is not looking to bring about another revolution. "What we're talking about is not a new revolution or a counterrevolution....They're talking about reforming it, refining it, and holding the officials accountable."
