I've Been Thinking:

It is unusual to have public disagreement in Iran - especially at the highest levels.
But sometimes we see cracks in the Iranian dam of silence and solidarity.

Hassan Rowhani is a significant Iranian religious leader and a former nuclear negotiator and advisor.
Rowhani has heaped criticism on Ahmadinejad for his belligerent style and for his anti-Israel and anti-Western diatribes.

"Does foreign policy mean expressing coarse slogans and grandstanding?"

"This is not a foreign policy. We need to find an accommodating way to decrease the threats and assure the interests of the country."

"If the international community thinks that a country wants to play troublemaker and eliminate others, it will not let the country do this and will confront it."

"We must act in such a way that the world understands that we are ready for more flexibility and more dialogue."

Even the best dams sometimes spring leaks.
