Khamenei vs Ahmadinejad
The Pres of Iran has been at odds with the Supreme Leader of Iran many times before. This time it is a personnel issue. A lackey of the Supreme leader, one Ayatollah Heidar Moslehi is the minister of the Interior (and thus in charge of the secret police, the double secret police, etc.). Ahmadinejad doesn't like him and wanted him gone. For now Khamenei has won but Ahmadinejad will try to slowly squeeze Moslehi out of the loop. If he succeeds relatively quickly, the victor will be Ahmadinejad. Of course if he succeeds too quickly it will tick of Khamenei. Since about 2007, Iran has always been two or three nasty disputes shy of a 'night of long knives'. Who knows. Posted by: Lord Garth 2011-04-23 |
