| Summary / Abstract (Note) | With all the hype surrounding Iran's nuclear program and its incendiary president Ahmadinejad, we have been fooled into believing Tehran is one of our biggest threats. But the country is divided, clerical control is in question and the supreme leader has little influence outside of the state's borders. As Iran faces a presidential election of its own, the country will likely confront s choice between extremism and moderation at the polls. |
