Hmm this turn of events really bodes nicely for people that are opposed to Iranian nuclear ambitions.
Larijani's stunning return to center stage in Iranian politics makes two things clear: President Ahmadinejad's hold on power is slipping badly, and next year's Iranian presidential election race is now wide open. Winning 232 votes after persuading an Ahmadinejad ally, former Speaker Gholamali Haddad-Adel, to step aside, Larijani is poised to make the position a dynamic power center in Iranian politics, and perhaps even a personal launch pad for challenging Ahmadinejad's bid for a second term of office.
I think Iran might be able to pull off nuclear technology but not get the bomb if this guy comes into power. If the Iranians actually dealt with the West instead of repeatedly threatening Israel they could probably cut a nice deal. I could see Russia or China rushing to help them build reactors that can't create weapons grade plutonium.
They may even give them the means of creating the bomb to counter American designs in the area. I could see the Obama administration not keeping their eye on the prize and Iran gets the nukes they are after. Crazy Mullahs with nukes get bombed. Canny Mullahs that work with the naivete of Obama get their nukes and their hegemony over the Middle East as a package deal.
