If it hasn't been made clear.....lacking legit political parties.....Iran is basically run by three groups.
Hardline crew.....Islamic Republic....the absolute and consumed conservatives. (osulgarayan).
This group wants strict ideological loyalty to velayat-e faqih (guardianship of the jurist). Yes, they are anti-West, and their power leans toward the Supreme Leader, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC).
Then there's the reformists and moderates (the eslahtalaban). This group wants civil liberties, economic changes, stable currency, survival of the banking structure, and mostly a moderate relationship with the west.
Most of the general public wants this group to 'win'.
Finally....the third group....the Supreme Leader and his Mullah-crew. If you haven't understood this....this group plays off both group number one and number two.
The Mullahs and hardline folks....having no understanding of the oil business, it's relationship to the economy? Well....that's about 99-percent of the current crisis.
