A spokesman for Iranian opposition leader Mir Hossein Mousavi is telling the "citizens of the world" and especially "the people and government of America" that the opposition shares international concerns about the possibility of a nuclear-armed Iran.
The statement by Mohsen Makhmalbaf -- an Iranian film director -- goes as far as to say that any agreement signed with President Mahmoud Ahmedinejad's "coup-empowered illegitimate government" would not be honored by the opposition, known as the Green Movement. He added: "All such agreements will be subject to review in the future."
Makhmalbaf's statement coincides with Ahmedinejad's appearance before the U.N. in New York today, his first since the disputed June elections and the violent aftermath that followed.
"The Iranian Green Movement does not want a nuclear bomb, but instead desires peace for the world and democracy for Iran. The Green Movement in Iran furthermore understands the world's concerns and in fact has similar concerns itself," the statement said.
In the past, Mousavi has made it clear he supports a peaceful nuclear program for Iran, but has emphasized the need for international "confidence building" and dialogue with the U.S.
But by reaching out so overtly to the West, the opposition risks playing into government accusations that the widespread protests were instigated by meddling foreign agents and do not... >>>

Darius and Payam jaan,
by Farhad Kashani on Thu Sep 24, 2009 03:10 PM PDTDarius and Payam jaan,
This Shah Gholam and Bavafa and kharmagas characters have absolutely no shame, no integrity, no civility, no regard for Iranian life, no passion for a better Iran, no love for today’s Iran, and most importantly no clue about whats going in Iran and the world! They are bunch of Neo Comm propagandists.
They are the very few and rapidly shrinking remaining IRI supporters in the world. They actually think labeling people with this whole “MKO” and “Israeli” thing can save IRI from its inevitable fall soon and can actually work anymore.
If anything, you should feel sorry for them.
Take it easy man

How susrprising of A.N supporters to launch personal attacks.

Not wanting "the bomb" is the ONLY view shared by both the Rahbar-Ahamdinejad duo and the "green opposition". Therefore it carries a lot of weight.
BTW, Iran's nukes policy was announced by Rafsanjani when he was Iran's pres.
The policy then and now has been to be a "screwdriver away from the bomb". I believe Iran is either there or damn close. That is very sound and responsible policy, in my opinion, and Iran must stick to it. That way no harm done to anyone, and no treaties are violated.
