Iran's bazaaris, who played a major role in the 1978 regime change, do not necessarily have a favored position in today's Iran, says Ambassador Pickering. Instead, the two pillars holding up the Iranian regime are the mullah-based leadership and the "gun carriers"--military, security, intelligence, and police. This Carnegie Council event took place on June 30, 2009. For complete video, audio, and transcript, go to http://www.cceia.org
