You’ve likely seen Laura Rozen and Barbara Slavin’s “July interview”:http://www.al-monitor.com/pulse/originals/2012/al-monitor/iranian-ambassador-mohammad-khaz.html with Iranian Ambassador Mohammad Khazaee, but I’ve been meaning to highlight a comment he made about Iran’s decision-making process with respect to negotiations concerning its nuclear program:

bq. Decisions on the nuclear issue are made by [Iran’s Supreme] Council of National Security, [chief nuclear negotiator Saeed] Jalili and the president [Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.

This is interesting, especially when paired with Hassan Rowhani’s “account”:http://www.totalwonkerr.net/2221/rowhani-interview-2012-edition of the AEOI’s role.
