on Iranian elections

An update on the struggle facing the Iranian government, coming to grips with the political change affecting their country. Two nearly identical stories out of Tehran; the first from the Saudi government sanctioned media outlet arabnews.com led with this headline: Reformists in Iran Challenge Hard-Liners while the BBC ran this: Iran hardliners 'reject reform. Hope to get a chance to revisit these later... but I'm struck by this closing statment in the arabnews.com story:

Reformist MP Hossein Ansari-Rad warned that the electoral reforms may only serve to heighten political tensions.
