Iran Updates (VIDEO): Live-Blogging The Uprising
everyone has mentioned all of the so-called players in iran except for the real power-base: the money. wealthy iranians are no doubt displeased with iran’s tanking economy, and are looking to khamenei to correct it. a first good step towards this would be ahmadinejad’s ouster.
ayatollah khamenei no doubt realises that the days of the revolution are passing from the consciousness of the youth of iran. there is a shift of power occurring right before our eyes. khamenei and his advisors will remain in power, guided by a more moderate cabinet. one only needs to look at the website of dr. ali akbar velayati, former foreign minister and current policy advisor to the ayatollah.
