"Khamenei-Ahmadinejad is now a cage match. Stripped to the bone, it's the fight between the ayatollah and the man with a halo over his head that will set the stage for the next presidential election, in June 2013 - when in the best of possible worlds there will be an Obama II, and the specter of war might have been averted.
Whenever lazy, prejudiced and nuance-adverse Western corporate media refer to Iran, it's all about "the mullahs". No; it's infinitely more complicated than that.
Khamenei is betting on an "epic event" of an election involving a turnout of at least 60%. That's far from a given - and that's why the regime is pulling no punches."
