It’s been a long, interesting, and tumultuous year in Iran. We’ll have to wait to see who is the Caspian Tiger in Iran, the government or the people. If I were a betting man, I’d say that the next year may give us the answer. But one thing is clear; the Green Movement is far from dead, or even asleep. Rather, it has been waiting for June 2010 to pounce.

A call for rallies by Mousavi and Karoubi is likely to raise the stakes in an already very tense situation as labor groups organize to protest their conditions in Iran.
