Ahmadinejad Under Fire in Iran for Hardline Nuclear Stance
[Guardian-UK] Robert Tait and Ian Black - Iran's president, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, came under fire from domestic critics Monday for his uncompromising stance on the nuclear issue. Mohammad Atrianfar, a respected political commentator, accused the president of using "the language of the bazaar" and said his comments had made it harder for Ali Larijani, the country's top nuclear negotiator, to reach a compromise with European diplomats. Even the fundamentalist newspaper Resalat, usually a supporter of Ahmadinejad, was critical: "Neither weakness nor inexperience and unnecessary rhetorical aggression is acceptable in our foreign policy."
