Taking Tehran's Temperature: One Year On

Abbas Milani, Gary Sick, Karim Sadjadpour, Steve Inskeep provide analysis

Carnegie Endowment: Almost a year ago, the controversy surrounding Iran's presidential election spurred the largest popular uprising since the 1979 revolution. While it appears that the government has gradually succeeded in quashing the opposition momentum, deep internal rifts—both among the country's political elites and between the regime and the general population—remain. NPR’s Steve Inskeep moderated a conversation between leading Iran analysts Abbas Milani of Stanford University, Gary Sick of Columbia University, and Carnegie’s Karim Sadjadpour, on the stability of the regime and how the United States should deal with the Islamic Republic >>>

Very interesting. Thank you

I noticed that non of the participants could predict the pace of change. This may be one reason that one is concerned about US dismissing the Brazil initiative, the other considers 'green' movement as a well defined movement which only needs to send some leaders abroad enabling them to make some strategic decision...

I also noticed the story of Milani being in Evin, along all current leaders of Islamic revolution, non of them imagining anything like what happened sixteen months later.

Coincidence... I think not!
