Iran’s Lost Chance of Change 7:00, 2002 (Ref: ME02174)

Description

We take a rare look inside Iran. Before the Taliban, the clerics of Iran were considered the radical hardliners of the Islamic world. But in the past few years, the Iranian people have pushed for change.    

The country’s moderate president, Mohammed Khatami, has made little progress.

Entrenched hardliners – including Ayatollah Khamenei, the country’s spiritual leader – continue to hold true power in Iran. And hope of real reform is starting to fade.

We spoke with people who are trying to bring about that change in a moderate way.
