A Split in the Iranian Government?
The Editors | Bio | 10 Nov 2009
WSJ's Jerry Seib takes a deeper look into what Iran's indecisiveness
regarding a nuclear deal says about the cohesiveness, or lack thereof,
of the Iranian government. Seib believes the waffling to be indicative
of conflicting thoughts in Tehran, specifically reformers, youth and
intellectuals pitted against traditionalists and older clerics. He says
Ahmadinejad would like to do a deal with the West to gain the support
of intellectuals and Iran's influential youth, but is facing resistance
from those who want nothing to do with the West.
