The faction of pragmatic conservatives are the most tricky to understand in the current political crisis because they neither support the reformist or the regime.
Emad Afroogh once supported Ahmadinejad and is a conservative former member of parliament, but his tone in a letter challening the regime bodes well for reformist efforts to bring pragmatic conservatives into the opposition fold:
"We watched prisoners whose analyses had changed after serving time in jail and they had concluded only after incarceration that their views had been erroneous. Iranians poured into the streets voluntarily. They got no money and no foreign media had urged them to rampage."
