An interesting read.The reformers are the big losers. Most critically for Supreme Guide Ali Khamenei, this Friday's election should allow him to complete the transfer of power from the mullahs to the Pasdaran.

The knives are now drawn between the turbaned old guard and the Pasdaran - "celebrated" since their participation in the Iran-Iraq war. Thirty years after the clerics took power in Iran, it is the most powerful cleric among them, Supreme Guide Ali Khamenei, who has decided to put an end to their continuously eroding domination in order to promote the regime's military. In order to achieve this militarization of the Islamic Republic, the Supreme Guide has not had to evoke American threats, to declare a state of emergency, or to proclaim martial law. He's settled simply for "organizing" the elections this Friday, March 14, with great care.
