But Mr. Ahmadinejad’s boldest moves have been toward the United States. Shortly after the American presidential election, Mr. Ahmadinejad wrote a letter to Mr. Obama congratulating him on his historic victory. This marked the first time, at least since the revolution, that an Iranian leader congratulated the winner of an election in the United States. To be sure, some wonder if this friendly gesture reflected official sentiment in Tehran. Mr. Ahmadinejad is, after all, not the most powerful or influential person in his country. Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei basically steers Iran’s foreign policy. But it is foolish to believe that Mr. Ahmadinejad was truly acting alone. He could not have sent a congratulatory letter to Mr. Obama without at least the tacit permission of the supreme leader.

We may not be giving Mr. Ahmadinejad the credit he deservers.
