Fox News
One of the founding fathers of Iran recently called for an end to the Islamic regime. Under house arrest, former PM Mir-Hossein Mousavi smuggled out a message that was highly critical of the regime.
And suddenly – nearly 13 years into his house arrest and effective silence – Mousavi smuggled out a message. A much different one this time.
