At Friday prayers last wk Khamenei named Rafsanjani. It is very unusual to name anyone at Friday prayers
Rafsanjani is head of Guardians who appointed Khamenei - He has power to remove him too
During elections ANejad attak reputation of Rafsanjani on behalf of Khamenei
Rafsanjani is possibly most powerful man in Iran. he has support of army and many of Revolutionary Guard Ppl of Iran know that Rafsanjani opposes Khamenei and ANejad
there is big division btween them for past 10yrs Until today
Rafsanjani has remained silent about elections fraud in Iran - this silence is v/important
Rafsanjani is waiting 4 Gov to show world extent of their suppression of ppls Rafsanjani is also waiting for wave of support to grow both in & out of country
Rafsanjani is slowly eroding support for Khamenei from behind scene
Rafsanjani is standing back to see who is who - who support who - to see who is trusted or not
Rafsanjani is allowing Revolutionary Guard commanders to choose their side - with ppl or against
When all positions clear - Rafsanjani has the military, financial & clerical power to mobilise
The process is slow - but certain - when Rafsanjani speaks - he will be heard
