According to this analysis from the International Relations and Security Network, Iran is starting to worry about President-Elect Obama and what his presidency will mean for U.S. relations with Iran and they are preparing their people for something less than a new start:

In recent days, Iranian TV has run a number of highly critical programs on Obama, pointing to his alleged ties with the Israeli lobby and the military-industrial complex.  Bystanders near the University of Tehran were greeted to a new slogan chanted by the Basij students during National Student Day on 6 December: “Students are vigilant, they hate Obama.”

The report goes on to note the Iranian nuclear program, geopolitical changes, and the worldviews of Obama and his team as the sources of Iranian concern. While the American public is eager to embrace the opportunity for change provided by the inauguration of a new president, Iran seems to be bracing itself for the possibility that the change in government will not lead to a change in U.S. policy. Let's hope that the leaders of Iran are prepared to offer Obama some inaugural gifts signaling their goodwill (as in a new flexibility on the nuclear issue) or they are likely to be met with the very continuation in policy that they fear.
