Mir-Hossein Mousavi

Mousavi's legacy is defined not by formal awards but by his role as a symbol of resistance. His leadership of the Green Movement in 2009, despite being under house arrest, has made him a moral authority for many Iranians. His willingness to call for a referendum in 2023 and to urge leaders to step down in 2026 demonstrates his enduring courage. For a man who spent decades in public service, his greatest honor is the trust of those who still see him as their legitimate president.
