There seems to be a good deal of guessing going on all round. What strikes me strongly in this discussion is that none of us really knows much about Iran. We're all slinging authorities at each other -- authorities in whose authority we believe because our respective authorities are saying what we want to hear.

Or so I'm guessing. Is there a single Farsi speaker on the list?
