- swat535 9mo agoI think that the biggest problem with Iran right now, is that there is no clear opposition party. South Africa had Mandela, India had Gandhi and Chile had Aylwin. We only have "Reza Pahalavi" being pushed by United State and Israel. He is nowhere qualified to run the country and hasn't stepped a foot there for decades. None of these movements are going to succeed, unless someone from within the country forms a strong party and unifies everyone. Either way, I'm afraid that Iranians are going to be suffering for a long time.

The figure was given in a secret diplomatic cable from then British ambassador to China, Sir Alan Donald. The original source was a friend of a member of China's State Council, the envoy says.
