Well,
I'm not sure anyone's paying attention but it's very apparent the power
struggle inside Iran 's
leadership continues to grow!
Who
the next president will be after this June's elections is anyone's guess, but
Ahmadinejad is doing his level best to make sure it is not one of his known
adversaries.
As
I've said before, the internal power struggles of the Iranian government is far
more disruptive than most in the Western world realize.
I'm
not sure anyone in the West even has a working understanding of what a "moderate"
Iranian leader may stand for, but everyone seems to be hoping against hope one will
come to the forefront.
What
is clear is the economic crisis is the weapon of choice for all sides involved.
Religion,
Zionist and the crisis in Syria
or a pending "Arab spring" are not the flavors of the day.
The
price of bread loss of subsidies and the devaluation of currency are the
cornerstones of this struggle for power.
The
religious leaders of Iran
seem content to allow the somewhat sectarian politicians squabble and better
yet take the blame for the economic miseries of Iran ;
for you see, the real power in Iran
will never leave the mullahs and the ayatollahs are whatever title they care to
give themselves!
Although
this struggle does not appear to gain much traction in the Western press, you
can be assured in Jerusalem
is a daily conversation.
The
ability to exploit weaknesses of your enemy is a doctrinal concept that will
not be overlooked by the Israelis or the nationstates of the GCC!
The
actions of Ahmadinejad may appear to be amateurish, but if there's one thing he
knows how to do, it's to play the part of the sensational leader.
The
elections grow near and the drama will only increase.
The
question becomes, with the issue of Syria
and Israel overtakes the
economic crisis in Iran
before the elections are held?
A
looming economic future is at best bleak spells disaster for the Iranian
leadership and they know it.
To
what ends with the Iranian government go to take its publics eye off of their
economic misery?
