The Fight over Iran's Future Is Only Beginning
[Times-UK] Amir Taheri - As the principal face of the opposition, Mir Hossein Mousavi has come under pressure to wind up the movement. On Saturday Abbas Mohtaj, the head of Iran's security council, issued a veiled death threat. Mousavi's wife and principal campaign manager, Zahra Rahnavard, has retaliated by publishing a poem through Twitter and SMS sent to millions of Iranians: "Let the wolves know that in our tribe / If the father dies, his gun will remain / Even if all the men of the tribe are killed / A baby son will remain in the wooden cradle."
