How do Iran's Green movement feel about sanctions?
They're against them:
"In recent days, the issue of sanctions has been raised against our nation. Although we think this situation arose from tactless and adventurous foreign policies, we are against it because it will affect people's lives," Mr Mousavi said.Mr Mousavi, who lost to Mahmoud Ahmadinejad in last June's presidential election, said Iran was facing an economic crisis whose full impact has yet to be felt.
A 0.5 percentage point fall in GDP growth last year to 1.8 per cent â?? according to IMF figures â?? was "like undergoing a massive attack by foreign enemies", Mr Mousavi said.
"The pressure of this fall is on entrepreneurs and it will be followed by a heavy unemployment and poverty ... turning back towards the people is the only solution and then you will see that again there is a backdrop of hope," he said.
I know professing support for Iran's Green Movement has become something of a cause celeb in some circles, but somehow I doubt they'll pay this news much attention.
