The Seditious Ahmadinejad?
(Diplomat) Meir Javedanfar - These days the most visible opponents to the status quo in Iran are the ultra-conservatives, who are now taking on Ahmadinejad. "In Iran, a new movement is appearing which wants to say that it's more revolutionary than the Supreme Leader," wrote Mehdi Mohammadi, the political editor of the ultra-conservative Keyhan newspaper on July 22. This is a far cry from the loyal support offered by Keyhan during Ahmadinejad's first and second elections as president. The fighting within the regime is growing increasingly intense.
