Mehdi Karroubi is 80 years old, Mir Hossein Mousavi is 76, and Zahra Rahnavard is 71. Both Karroubi and Mousavi have been hospitalized for various reasons, including heart and vascular problems. They have spent over six years under house arrest, which has undoubtedly not been a pleasant experience for them, neither physically nor mentally, and does not help improve their ailments. Recently, a battery was implanted in Mehdi Karroubi's heart, and after a short stay in the hospital, he was returned to house arrest. The children of Mir Hossein Mousavi and Zahra Rahnavard expressed concern about their parents' health a few days ago. If the house arrest has life-threatening consequences for the Green leaders, what should be expected? In the event of a deterioration in health and the possible death of any of these three individuals under house arrest, what will be the reaction of their supporters? Does this supportive community have the necessary cohesion for a reaction? What consequences could this potential event have for the government? What about Hassan Rouhani, who has promised several times to lift the house arrest?
