Interesting, but we'll see if any of this is more than just talk....After all, how many times has Khatami said he'd leave?? And how many of the names does the Council have to put back in the "yes" pile, before the reformists back down? A couple?

We weren't their next door neighbor then, were we?

Question for those on this thread that are Persian or really follow Iran closely, because I never see this discussed in the media and am curious and have no idea myself...

Where does the Iranian ARMY stand politically?

Not talking about the Revolutionary Guards or Pasdaran or anything, the regular army. Obviously, they have most of the guns and are key to anything happening.

I would suspect many of the rank and file officers would have no love for the Mullahcracy, but I would also suspect that the Mullahs have installed "reliable" officers as commanders of units, particularly those in or near Teheran.
