Buy Us A Cup of Coffee? Help Enduring America Expand Its Coverage and Analysis
This video emerged last week but we held off posting it until we could clarify what Mohsen Hashemi, the son of former President Hashemi Rafsanjani, was claiming.
At a "technical" meeting five days after the 12 June election, Mohsen Hashemi took the microphone to launch a fierce criticism of President Ahmadinejad. About six minutes into the clip, he claims that his family does not have a penny abroad, countering pre-election allegations (to be repeated in the Tehran trials) of Rafsanjani's corruption. Then he reveals....
Hashemi Rafsanjani's campaign manager in the 2000 Parliamentary elections was Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.
That bit of information, offered publicly for the first year, puts the Rafsanjani-Ahmadinejad in a new light. The two men were politically, if not personally, close at one point but, for unknown reasons, fell out before the 2005 Presidential election.
More to come?
