Generalizing, those are the two forces pulling Iran apart at the moment. The mullahs and military want the militarized state and the urban population want a more liberal state.

In reality it is much more complicated (I don't fully understand it either) since there is a large liberal force within the mullahs and the general Iranian population is not pro-western plus a shitload of other reasons but that is a basic overview.
