The Green Wave

Irans' New Revolutionaries By Babak Sarfaraz
If there is one iconic image that has emerged from the extraordinary recent events, it is that of the masked young men and women who have appeared at all the major flashpoints.

It is also composed of men and women in roughly equal numbers.
