WASHINGTON, DC – This month marks the one-year anniversary of the contested re-election of hard-line Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, which spurred the country’s largest popular uprisings since the 1979 Islamic revolution. While the regime gradually succeeded in violently quelling the momentum of the opposition Green Movement, the country’s deep internal rifts – both among political elites as well as between government and society – are far from being reconciled.
发自华盛顿特区——到本月为止，距离伊朗强硬派总统艾哈迈迪内贾德充满争议的连任已经过去整整一年了，而此人亲手镇压的则是自1979年伊斯兰革命以来最大规模的群众起义运动。尽管当局逐步用武力遏制住了反对派“绿色运动”的势头，但伊朗国内的深层次矛盾还远未弥合——这既包括了政治精英之间的分歧，也包含了政府与社会之间的分裂。
