Here is a round up of the best of the analysis of the Iranian election shenanigans:
– As usual Michael Collins Dunn offers a sage eye weighing up both sides over at the MEI blog.
– Arab Media Shack and the Washington Post caution people against assuming a coup of some description simply because Ahmadinejad is not the West’s favorite leader. Overall though, I disagree with their interpretation.
– Juan Cole on the election and a rebuttal to the Washington Post’s conclusions.
– Gary Sick with an excellent overview.
– Brian Ulrich – always worth a read.
– And another link to Eskandar Sadeghei’s take on it all.

Do read this commentary by an extremely able PhD student friend of mine on the recent Iranian election debacle. As you’ll read, it is clearly as insightful as anything you’ll read in the media more generally.
