Some more pictures of the meeting.
The next meeting of the group is on Wednesday and will be held virtually.
The top question remains whether and who (and how many candidates) to run for the coming #IranElections2021

#Iran's embattled reformists will launch a new umbrella organization, probably by tomorrow.
The "Iranian Reformist Front" will bring together reformist parties (and not personalities) and will decide whether and who to run for #IranElections2021

Its first head will be ex-MP, ex-minister Behzad Nabavi who is the oldest at 78 (it's a tradition that the oldest member of a body will be its first interim head.) He might also run for the permanent leadership, I am told.
The body has the support of former president Khatami

The 'parties not personalities' distinguished the 'Front' from the already-existing Reformist Policy Council which has about 30 or so members who act as individuals.
