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.
