All About Iran
December 29th, 2008 by Jason
Plenty of debate on Iran policy this morning:
In the Daily News Egypt, Karim Sadjadpour writes that though there is a strong current of reform in Iran, there remains an entrenched political elite that has little interest in endangering its privilege through rapprochement with the U.S. Sadjadpour notes that engagement runs right through the office of Ayatollah Khamenei, and even an unsuccessful attempt at dialogue will work to America’s strategic advantage.
In the Post, Ray Takeyh analyzes what Iran would want out of engagement with the U.S. He sees overlapping interests on Iraq, but is much less sanguine about the nuclear program and patronage of Hezbollah. In another report, Arab League head Amr Moussa makes clear that the Arab nations will want a seat at any dialogue table.
