Iran election – Ahmadinejad wants Obama talks; cleric rebuff Khamenei

Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad says he wants public talks with US President Barack Obama.

I wonder why. Maybe this is the reason. — a top group of Iranian clerics, from the late Ayatollah Khoumeni’s home of Qom, have called Ahmadinejad and his government illegitimate, as well as the sanctioning of the alleged election results by Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei.

Clearly, we are nowhere near the endgame in Iran (barring a sudden collapse of Khamenei’s power). Stay tuned.
