Iran Snapshot: What Now for Rafsanjani?


             

 DateTuesday, March 8, 2011 at 11:29 | AuthorScott Lucas in ,

Rafsanjani and Mahdavi Kani EA's Mr Tehrani gives an immediate reaction to the news that former President Hashemi Rafsanjani has been pushed out of his post as leader of the Assembly of Experts, losing today's election to the Ahmadinejad-backed Ayatollah Mahdavi Kani:

I really hope we will finally tone down the idea that he still holds power. He has no power and is being pushed out of the instittuional sphere.

He has been hounded out of the Assembly of Experts, his son [Mohsen Hashemi] ousted as head of the Tehran Metro, the other son [Mehdi Hashemi] a fugitive, and the daughter [Faezeh Hashemi] called a whore in broad daylight.

What can you really expect from the man now?
