| | Signaling a seismic change in Iran's political environment, reform candidates won the overwhelming majority of seats in Feb. 2000 parliamentary elections, thereby wresting control from hard-liners, who had dominated the Parliament since the 1979 Islamic revolution. | | | Pahlavi's Westernization programs alienated the clergy, and his authoritarian rule led to massive demonstrations during the 1970s, to which the shah responded with the imposition of martial law in Sept. 1978. | | | Khatami supported greater social and political freedoms, but his steps toward liberalizing the strict clerical rule governing the country put him at odds with the supreme leader, Ayatollah Khamenei. |

| | A delegation from Iran led by deputy head of the country’s Supreme National Security Council, Ali Hosseinitash has arrived in Moscow to discuss a compromise deal on Iran’s uranium enrichment. | | | Despite this hopeless chaos, it looks almost certain we're now headed for a new one with Iran and may try to "double our displeasure" by adding still another with Venezuela to remove their twice democratically elected President Hugo Chavez. | | | US Under-secretary of State Nicholas Burns underlined US determination, saying in Washington that "unless Iran does a dramatic about-face", he expected the issue to be taken up by the Security Council. |

| | Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, Tehran's ultra-conservative mayor, won a run-off vote in elections in June 2005, defeating his rival, the former president Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani, to become Iran's first non-cleric president for 24 years. | | | But his liberal ideas put him at odds with the supreme leader, Ayatollah Khamenei, and hardliners reluctant to lose sight of established Islamic traditions. | | | Hardline conservatives repeatedly blocked legislation during his eight years in office and the disqualification of moderates from parliamentary elections left him politically isolated. |

| | Parliamentary elections in 2004 and the August 2005 inauguration of a conservative stalwart as president, completed the reconsolidation of conservative power in Iran's government. | | | President Mahmud AHMADI-NEJAD has continued to follow the market reform plans of former President RAFSANJANI, with limited progress. | | | Following the elections of a reformist president and Majlis in the late 1990s, attempts to foster political reform in response to popular dissatisfaction floundered as conservative politicians prevented reform measures from being enacted, increased repressive measures, and made electoral gains against reformers. |

| | Although several of these initiatives will be difficult to achieve if Iran's diplomatic isolation continues, the victory of reform-minded candidates in recent Iranian parliamentary elections eventually may lead to a warming of relations beween Iran and the United States and other countries. | | | Iran maintained this focus after the Islamic Revolution, enshrining environmental protection in the Constitution. | | | Details of the plan, which was approved by the Iranian cabinet, have not been released, but officials have stated that air pollution in Tehran will decrease by 16% with the plan's implementation. |
