In all likelihood, the right wing conservatives, headed by Ayatollah Yazdi, will beat moderate conservatives because they seem more united and organized. The infighting between moderate conservatives will most probably mean that Ayatollah Rafsanjani, their best known candidate, will be unable to pull off a ‘Shimon Peres,’ and suddenly emerge as a winner after a string of losses. Unfortunately for the West, this means that the chances for a compromise in the nuclear talks will be less likely, as this group is the one most likely to back such an option.

The fact that the "Crocodile" (Mesbah Yazdi) is backing Ayatollah Yazdi now is hardly reassuring when you consider that Rafsanjani (their "Peres"!?) has publicly announced that Iran would win a nuclear war with Israel...
