For Iran, the NIE Report Is the Gift that Keeps On Giving
Perhaps this is true of the Osoulgaraian or hardliners of the Ahmadinejad/Messbah-Yazdi crowd but it is ENTIRELY not the case where the Khatami/Rafsanjani crowd are concerned. So far, last Monday, Hasan Rowhani who was Khatami Nukes negotiator with the E.U. Troika has admitted that though the program was halted during the Khatami days (which is why the regime’s dossier was not referred to the Security Council) has been overturned and that the regime IS in fact continuing the nukes development on the sly. AND as if that wasn’t enough, yesterday, the ex-commander of the IRGC, Mohsen Rezaii said that not only the NEI but also El Baradei’s report are lies and a ruse by the west.
SO if anything Mr. Javdanfar’s analysis though it can on the surface be construed as correct, there are SERIOUS underlying grumblings going on within the regime and this NEI has the pot stirring in a way that will step the quiet gangland style battles going on between the various Mullah factions. This report is WAY more damaging to the regime than the momentary sophmoric gloating that the clown Ahmadinejad has been doing. I wouldn’t be so quick to put the ball in the Mullahs’ court. Things are NEVER that shallow where the Mullahs are concerned.
