AFSHIN MOLAVI, New America Foundation: This is a hugely important moment, Judy. I mean -- and it's important historically, not just in the context of today's events.

Here you have Hashemi Rafsanjani, a lion of the revolution, a man of the system, standing forward in this importantly symbolic venue, the Friday prayer hall, and saying, "Something has gone terribly astray here."

And then he's also speaking for the voices of millions of Iranians who did feel that these elections were rigged.

So the ultimate takeaway from this is, Rafsanjani did not take the wind out of the sails of the protestors. He did not offer a conciliatory speech, as some thought, and he said that this political fight will last another day.
