Who is on What Side in Iran?

Amir Taheri has a great article on the Iranian “movers and shakers” and where the splits are occurring.

Definitely worth reading if you are trying to understand Iran.

The ultimate conclusion, in my opinion, is that no one knows and that what we’re seeing is a “tie” between the opponents and hardliners.  A tie, however, goes to the regime since they control the guns, the majority of the IRGC, the technology to stop opposition activity and organization, and the basij.
