Summary / Abstract (Note) | In the misty landscape of internal Iranian politics, simplistic ideas are often a substitute for analysis. Many analysts consider that power is entirely in the hands of the Shia mullahs, that the supreme leader decides everything and that the Guardians of the Revolution- the Pasdaran-are in the process of occupying all key positions in Business, public and private institutions, and now in the government. |
