New Tone From Iran

By Micah Halpern
I've Been Thinking:

Iran's official media has struck a very different tone these past few weeks.

Iranian media has reiterated that the person who makes policy in Iran is not Ahmadinejad, but the Grand Ayatollah the Supreme Leader - and that the Supreme leader has praised President Obama and is looking forward to signing the deal with the United Nations and to working together with the community of nations.

They have also been repeating the Supreme Leader's religious/legal stance about nuclear weapons.
They even quoted the head of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard, just returned from Lebanon where he met with the leader of Hezbollah, Sheik Hassan Nasrallah, saying that he told Hezbollah not to attack Israel.

To top it all off, the official Iranian press has even been hinting that dialogue with the United States Is no longer out of bounds.

This is an entirely new face of Iran.
