GLOBAL PULSE: Iran's Power Players (9/4/2009)

(September 4, 2009) What's in a kiss? Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei and President Ahmadinejad took part in one of the most analyzed kisses since Romeo and Juliet. Since then, the Ayatollah has walked a razor's edge between reformers, hardline revolutionaries and other power brokers. He has sometimes supported and sometimes restrained his chosen electoral winner, Ahmadinejad. Position, politics and power drive this dynamic duo. Who will prevail?

You're kidding, right? The whole point of the video is to suggest there is a conspiracy between Khamenai and Ahmadinejad to pretend like they are fighting, but really they aren't. This is what the video wants you to think even though there is no evidence for it.

i dont think there is a power struggle, the president is only the president with the blessing of the leader. the leader holds all the power, the president is just for show.

@megrel1990 Chess was invented in the Arab Nations, it is a great game for those who play....But the reality is that we the people are the chess pieces ! in their game of depopulation (banksters engineered war)...Ps, Ahmadinejad is a Jew ! (don't you know)...One big game of death while the master (All roads lead to Rome) chemtrails (Google chemtrails and chemtrails in your home town)...

خامنه ای دستور داد که مبلغ سیصد میلیون دلار بعنوان جبران ضرر مالی کلانی که چند ماه پیش در نتیجه ورشکستگی صلاح عز الدین تاجر لبنانی نصیب فعالین سازمان حزب الله شده است، به شیخ نصرالله اهداء گردد

جمهوری اسلامی = یک رهبر احمق و یک رئیس جمهور بیمار و جامعه‌ای افسرده و دمق و آسیب‌ دیده و پر از خشم و نفرت و کینه.

رژیمی که پشتیبانی مردم ندارد با یک مشت شکنجه گر حقوق بگیر حکومت می‌کند

۵۰۰.۰۰۰ نفر نیروی انتظامی‌ فقط برای تهران
