WHO IS REALLY IN CHARGE IN IRAN - THE GOVERNMENT APPARATUS OR A PARALLEL FORCE SHADOWING THE GOVERNMENT?

The top American military officer, General Peter Pace, declined Monday to endorse the conclusions of U.S. military officers in Baghdad, who told reporters on Sunday that the Iranian government is providing high-powered roadside bombs to insurgents in Iraq. General Pace made his comments during a visit to Australia, and VOA's Al Pessin reports from Canberra. General Pace said he was not aware of the Baghdad briefing, and that he could not, from his own knowledge, repeat the assertion made there that the elite Quds brigade of Iran's Republican Guard force is providing bomb-making kits to Iraqi Shiite insurgents."We know that the explosively formed projectiles are manufactured in Iran. What I would not say is that the Iranian government, per se (specifically), knows about this," he said. "It is clear that Iranians are involved, and it's clear that materials from Iran are involved, but I would not say by what I know that the Iranian government clearly knows or is complicit."That the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs seems to not only have been "unaware" of the briefing yesterday and its contents but also feels himself unable to back its conclusions is, frankly, mind-boggling .
UNLESS that the explanation is what we have been saying for the last 28 years. THERE ARE TWO GOVERNMENTS RULING IRAN - ONE IS THE QUASI ELECTED ONE AND THE OTHER THE TOP MULLAH, THE VELAIET E FAGHEH
