The Supreme Leader not so supreme anymore

NEWS ANALYSIS: "An Iron Cleric, Now Blinking," by Neil MacFarquhar, New York Times, 16 June 2009.

Great analytical piece by MacFarquhar, who is always good on Iran, that explores the notion that Khameini's grip on power is slipping.

Dovetails nicely with the spate of Revolutionary-Guards-taking-command analyses.
