El secretario del Consejo Superior de Seguridad Nacional y principal negociador nuclear de Irán, Ali Lariyani, ha presentado su dimisión, según informó hoy el portavoz del Gobierno, Gholam Hossein Elham, quien señaló que la política nuclear de Irán está "estabilizada" y es "inalterable", por lo que un no se verá modificada por este cambio.
"Lariyani había dimitido en repetidas ocasiones. Finalmente, el presidente (Mahmud Ahmadineyad) ha aceptado su dimisión", anunció Hossein Elham en rueda de prensa.
El portavoz tan sólo precisó que el hasta ahora negociador nuclear desea centrarse en "otras actividades políticas". Será Saeed Jalili, viceministro de Asuntos Exteriores para Europa y América, quien sustituya a Lariyani, cuya dimisión se hizo efectiva de forma inmediata.
Elham confirmó que Jalili se reunirá el próximo martes en Roma, como tenía previsto Lariyani, con el jefe de Política Exterior de la Unión Europea, Javier Solana.
Lariyani era considerado por Occidente un personaje de confianza dentro del régimen iraní. Sin embargo, sus diferencias con Ahmadineyad eran cada vez más evidentes, y se pusieron de manifiesto con la ausencia del negociador en la reunión que mantuvieron la semana pasada el presidente ruso, Vladimir Putin, y el ayatolá Ali Jamenei.
Reacciones: El ex-Embajador americano en la ONU, John Bolton:
El ex embajador estadounidense en Naciones Unidas, John Bolton, ha sido uno de los primeros en reaccionar tras la dimisión de Alí Lariyani, el representante iraní en las negociaciones sobre el programa nuclear de Teherán, que lamentó como "una clara victoria" para el presidente Mahmud Ahmadineyad, que demuestra "que los líderes iraníes están determinados a proseguir con el proceso de enriquecimiento de uranio".
Bolton, que también ejerció como representante estadounidense en estas negociaciones, consideró que el conflicto entre Lariyani y Ahmadineyad, causa de dimisión del primero, es parte de "una lucha de poder que tendrá lugar cuando el ayatolá Alí Jamenei --Líder Supremo de Irán -- fallezca".
Para el ex embajador norteamericano en la Asamblea de Naciones Unidas, el abandono de Lariyani es una cuestión de choque entre "personalidades" y de "políticas internas". "Ahmadineyad ha visto a Lariyani como alguien con una perspectiva diferente en las negociaciones nucleares", concluyó Bolton.
A pesar de las declaraciones del régimen iraní de que "la posición es inalterable", lo más probable es que la posición de Irán aún se endurezca más h/t Noisy Room.Net.
Lo raro es que no se haya comentado esta noticia más en medios occidentales...

Según los clérigos iraníes, el líder de la Revolución (o sea, Khamenei) debe ser un "experto en hacer equilibrios de poder (casi mejor equilibrios en el poder 
) y en hacer consensos". Pero esta vez no le ha salido demasiado bien porque el verano pasado disminuyó la autoridad de Agggmi, desilusionándole (pobrecito...
) . En principio, Larijani era aliado de Ahmadenijad, pero Larijani se había casado dentro de la "mullahcracia" y tenía sus propios apoyos dentro de los "conservadores" iraníes, lo que puede significar que le ha desafiado en algunas ocasiones o que Aggmi considera que no era lo suficientemente dócil. Así que, como dice ATB, Agggmi ha cambiado a un tecnócrata por un "verdadero creyente", el desconocido Saeed Jalili, un fanático "Aggmi-style":
- Born in 1965
- Is close to President Ahmadinejad
- Considered a hard-line diplomat
- Appointed deputy foreign minister in charge of Europe and American affairs in 2005
- Has worked in Supreme Leader's office

Ali Larijani, the top Iranian negotiator in the atomic crisis with Iran, has resigned from his post and Agmi has accepted it. The cause of this decission is, without doubt, the deep differences both in character and in manners, both politicians have had since the beginning of the affair. It was very clear to international observers that those differences have sentenced the relationship when Larijani wasn't at the Caspian Sea summit that took place some days ago.
Iran's top national security official Ali Larijani, listens to the reporter's questions after meeting with Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki, in Baghdad, Iraq, Sunday, April 29, 2007. Iran's top nuclear negotiator, Ali Larijani, has resigned, a government spokesman said Saturday Oct. 20, 2007. The spokesman, Gholam Hossein Elham, gave no specific reason for the resignation, effective immediately, but said Larijani had cited a desire to focus on "other political activities."

There have been very little reactions to this resignation. Among them, the most important is the one John Bolton has made. According to ex-US top negotiator in the nuclear crisis and ex-US ambassador to UN, this is "a clear victory for Ahmadinejad, who shows that the Iranian leaders are determined to continue with the uranium enrichment process". He also considered that the conflict between Larijani and Ahmadinejad is just "a share of the power struggle that will take place when the Ayatollah Ali Khamenei" -the Iranian Supreme Leader- "dies".
The conclusion to this will be that the Iranian position will harden more in the near future.
As the country's paramount politician, he is relied upon to provide the necessary glue to the political world and the spiritual guidance to the faithful. The constitution also has invested him with enormous powers. He has the power to dissolve parliament, replace the heads of the armed forces, decree new laws and even amend the constitution.
Despite this, it is a mistake to regard him as an autocrat.
"A good Supreme Leader is one who is a master in balance-of-power politics and an expert in consensus-building," says a religious scholar who spoke to ISN Security Watch on condition of anonymity.
Like his predecessor, the late Aytullah Khomeini, maintaining his pre-eminent position as an overarching figure has meant engaging in a good deal of consensus-building and making more than a few compromise. This is partly a result of Shia jurisprudence where any clergyman can theoretically legislate and pontificate as long as he has the rank of Hojat-ul Islam - a rank inclusive of several thousand mid- and high-ranking clerics. Aside from this, he should not appear to lean too far in favor of one faction over another. In effect, this has meant constantly balancing the factions against each other.
The important thing is Ahmadinejad Replaces Nuclear Technocrat with True Believer @ ATB:
While Larijani was allied with Ahmadinejad, he became disillusioned with his role last summer when the Iranian president undercut his authority on several occassions.
[Larijani] also had an independent power base, having married in to the mullacracy with several relations serving in high positions in the government. In the end, he may not have been pliant enough for Ahmadinejad who now approaches the endgame of diplomacy with the United States with a negotiating novice who is as fanatical as Ahmadinejad in some ways.
