Iran will not bow to ’pressure’

Ahmagmeninjad is essentially a manager, and the Ayatollahs will not put up with an accumulation of power by this secular office.  They are going to insist all real power be held by the theocracy.

there is a great leader in this world after so many years, his name Mahmoud Ahmadinejad - the President of Iran.

i feel that ahmadinejad dominates khameini.

you ask anybody in the world who rules iran, and the first name that comes to his mind is ahmadinejad.

If you think Ahmadmeninjad dominates Khomeini you are simply wrong.  He is just getting more publicity lately.  The fact that you never heard of Khomeini before I mentioned him reflects your ignorance of Iraninan politics. Only Khomeini has the power to make foreign policy and to declare war.  Ahmadmeninjad has only domestic influence, and even that is always inferior to the judgement of the Ayatollahs.  Iran has clearly spelled out the powers both branches of government have in their website.

i feel that khameini himself feels that mahmoud ahmadinejad is guiding the country towards prosperity, just like all the iranians feel, and khameini may not deny any of the suggestions and procedures of ahmadinejad, and khameini may work on the footsteps of ahmadinejad
