The President of Iran, for example, basically has no power. The Speaker of the Majlis parliament has more power than the president. The Iranian president basically functions as a press secretary to the world, updating people on the status and conditions of negotiations between the real power center in Iran - the Supreme Leader, the Revolutionary Council, and the parliament. Why American readers insist on hearing the word "president" attached to foreign leaders with limited, little, or no power (Russia and China again two other examples), I cannot understand, other than the brainwashing by the liberal media for generations.
