What to make of Hassan Rouhani, the man elected last year to replace Mahmoud Ahmadinejad as President of Iran?  Is he a "moderate?"  Is a new relationship with Iran in the offing?   This talk will lay out the political battlefield inside the Islamic Republic, how the 2013 election occurred, and what it means for the United States.
