"Although he moved later than he should have, Mousavi has retreated from the position of denying the legitimacy of Mr. Ahmadinejad's government," Rezaei said in a Friday letter to the s Supreme Leader.
Rezaei who has throughout the 30-year reign of this regime held senior positions within the Iranian Revolutionary Guards Corps condemned the anti-government protests by Iranian people on the Shiite festival of Ashura as a "desecration of Ashura by anti-establishment protestors."
Rezaei’s letter came following a statement issued by Mousavi on Friday. Mousavi’s statement was his first since the recent unrest.
