The recently emerged political opposition party in the forthcoming
presidential election in the Islamic Republic of Iran has taken green as its
totemic colour, and -- curiously enough -- waves a flag apparently identical to
that of Libya, a solid green rectangle, as its party flag. A recent television
report (Thursday, June 11) on the US television network CBS showed the plain
green flags, and also, indistinctly, smaller flags with a white design on a
green field. The design, seen only fleetingly, somewhat seems to resemble the
crossed-swords diamond-shaped emblem on the Saudi state flag, but larger and
centered on the green field. Does anyone have more information on this?
