Larijani overwhelmingly elected speaker in Iran
In a sign of a possible shift inside Iran, Ahmadinejad's rival, former nuclear negotiator Ali Larijani is overwhelmingly elected to speaker of the Parliament, 232-31.
Larijani is definitely a conservative, but he's also much more of a realist and internationalist.

Are the chicken-hawks pissed off they might miss their opportunity to do more warring?

I doubt it. They're framing it as the IRGC right now, and that's not under the speaker's control.
Of course, if they do do something, any rationalism or reform goes out the window.
