ANALYSES OF 2013 IRANIAN PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION? -- by Frieda Afary

WHITHER THE IRANIAN DEMOCRATIC OPPOSITION? -- by Frieda Afary
Although the recent disqualification of two candidates Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani and Esfandiar Rahim Mashaei from the election is very significant and further reveals the intense power struggles within the regime, more significant are the defining issues that continue to fuel the grassroots discontent inside Iran.
