Why the Mullahs Will Keep on Fighting Us, and Destroying Iran
Well, here’s some hot sauce for the internal situation in Iran: Meir Javedanfar’s latest article on PJM brings us the news that $35 billion in Iranian oil income has gone missing from the government coffers. That’s a lot of centrifuges….or a lot of vacation villas on the Amalfi coast – probably a bit of both. Ahmadinejad’s government never forwarded the money to Iran’s central bank as required by law, then to be dispersed for government requested projects, upon approval of the Majlis/parliament.
So, what gives? Mr. Javedanfar muses about whether this could have happened without Ahmadinejad’s knowledge. What I wonder is whether it could have happened without the knowledge and blessing of supreme leader Khamenei? In any case, the Iranian people again seem to have good cause to distrust their government. I would be greatly interested to know what the many knowledgeable commenters here think of this news and these questions, especially Mr. Ledeen if he has a moment to consider these developments.
