↑Sahar Namazikhah (23 November 2010), Iranian Opposition Struggles to Survive, Institute for War & Peace Reporting, retrieved 3 March 2017, Mohammad Zare Foumani, a cleric who heads the Young Reformist Coalition – itself part of the new movement – has said the New Reform Front's members uphold the founding principles of the Islamic Republic and defend the rule of the Supreme Leader. That view seems out of step with the view of the opposition reformers. Green Movement leaders Mir-Hossein Mousavi, Karroubi and Khatami, said Foumani, are "fossils fit only for history and museums". He called for "a new revolution within the reformist movement", but it is fairly obvious that the only thing the front has in common with the reformers is its name.
