The conservative consolidation in Iran

Article Abstract:

Iran's conservative leadership has effectively tightened its hold on power, thwarting attempts at political reform. The conservatives' consolidation of power now constitutes the framework of Iran's power politics, which will in turn determine the nature and scope of internal political developments after the 2005 presidential elections, the country's response to outside pressures regarding the nuclear issue, and the kind of government which is likely to evolve in the Islamic Republic.

Article Abstract:

Increasing threats from nuclear weapons being developed by countries like N. Korea as well as Iran has diverted world attention from developing the technology for peaceful purposes, which all agree could hugely benefit mankind. Nuclear energy could be the way out of the energy crisis that will, sooner rather later, grip the world but safety concerns abound and world leaders must take the lead in ensuring that the technology works to the advantage of the human race.
