Die neue Unübersichtlichkeit

Eine iranische Zeitungsschlagzeile vom Mittwoch:  “Mr Ahmadinejad must apologise to people”. Ein Reformistenblatt? Nein, ein “Hardliner”-Blatt. Es ist alles ein wenig unübersichtlich geworden, aber das ist so, wenn Regime zerfallen. Scott Lucas von enduring america ist wieder einmal in Analyse und Berichterstattung allen weit voraus. Sein Fazit über die Lage:

A week before he is supposed to be inaugurated, “President Ahmadinejad” seems to be little more than a label. Some are paying more attention to the Green Movement, some to the leadership of the Supreme Leader, some to Hashemi Rafsanjani, some even to the notion of a de facto assertion of power by the Revolutionary Guard.

Forty days after the death of the 20 June demonstrators, who will be remembered tomorrow, this is no longer a single “Green Wave”. Rather, there are waves crashing all round, outside and the Government. And, even if Ahmadinejad is swept away by the political undertow, there will be no return to still waters.
