    Reference the Obama/Kerry tilt to Iran in the hope of a more moderate Iran....

    A stern push-back from @EliLake on the torrent of nonsense about "moderates" being "elected" in Iran

    The search for nuance in Iran after Khamenei and the Guard Corps have gutted even Rafsanjani is a staggering example of wish-thinking.

    The so called Obama hoped for moderates only have 69 seats vs the over 250 plus radical/conservative seats...not a majority thus no voice.
