Earlier this week, I wondered if Mahmoud Ahmadinejad’s naming Esfandiar Rahim Mashai, a definitely more moderate type, as his first vice president, wasn’t an appeal to moderates.
Well, wonder no more. Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, showing who, at this point, still actually runs the country, has vetoed the choice. But, at about the same time, Ahmadinejad said he stood behind Mashai. Stay tuned.
