Here is an interesting article quoting the Military head of Iran. Any opinions on what it all means?

http://peakoil.com/publicpolicy/supreme-leader-backing-of-nuclear-deal

“Iran’s military chief congratulated Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei for negotiators’ success in reaching a nuclear agreement with six world powers, in an open backing of President Hassan Rouhani’s government.
In praising the outcome of the talks, General Hassan Firouzabadi highlighted rifts between Rouhani and critics who say negotiations don’t serve Iran’s national interest. While Khamenei hasn’t commented publicly on the framework accord reached last week, the general’s warm words may indicate the political establishment’s official line in presenting the deal at home.”

It sounds to me as though saner heads may have prevailed against the hard liners.

“How can they talk for a year and a half and then come out with different texts?” said Manouchehr Mohammadi, a professor of law and political science at Tehran University.

Because somebody, somewhere is being set up for a betrayal, would be my guess.

That would be an incorrect conclusion — there are no saner heads, all of them are hardliners.
