Iran’s strongman loses grip

Are we headed for regime change in another terrorist bastion? This report is from The Sunday Times:

IRAN’S supreme leader is considering a change of policy on the country’s nuclear programme in an effort to defuse growing tension with the West, according to senior sources in Tehran.
Alarmed by mounting US pressure and United Nations sanctions, officials close to Ayatollah Ali Khamenei favour the appointment of a more moderate team for international negotiations on the supervision of its nuclear facilities.

The move would be a snub to the bellicose president, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, whose threats to destroy Israel have left Iran increasingly isolated and facing a serious economic downturn.

The tide for freedom is beginning to turn. Hold on.

In another article, we read this: Traders have speculated that Saudi Arabia, Opec’s biggest producer which has long been suspicious of Iran’s intentions in the region, may be keeping the oil price low to contain the Islamic Republic.

The Reagan bio Crusader, which I mentioned yesterday, dteailed the Saudi's role in bankrupting the Soviets by keeping the price of oil low.
