Iranian of the Day

جنگ شغالها

به زودی نیروی قالب هر چی‌ به قول بی‌ خبرها "رفرمیست" و "میانه رو" هست رو حذف میکنند و اونوقت همه میدونند که با چه جون‌ورایی طرفند. دیگه نمی‌شه با ترفند میانه رو و رفرمیست سر دنیا رو شیره مالید.

به امید سرنگونی هر چه زودتر رژیم ضد بشر و استقرار دموکراسی در ایران

عجب پیشرفتی

اگر رفسنجانی این جوری جلو برود، تا چند روز دیگر باید مشق بنویسد.

Iranian of the day?

Who is "The Iranian of day" here? Rafi or the other akhond?

I have been crying my eyes out

I'm a crocodile

this is actually good !

This state of affairs

This state of affairs presents an impasse that the Iranian regime needs to reconcile soon. There are signs of impatience and calls for an end are on the rise. On one hand, Hashemi Rafsanjani, on a trip to Khorasan, repeated his call for a resolution though he insisted that his ideas for a breakthrough remain the same as those he made public in his last Friday sermons. Since then, he has been released from such functions. In Mashad, he warned that the country needs a way out and criticized the narrow-minded approach shown after the election.

Still, there are vague signs that something might happen soon to try to remove the current deadlock. Of course the signs are complex and sometimes contradictory. But since the Supreme Leader called on political factions to refrain from "weakening" political figures, something all observers saw a reference to Hashemi Rafsanjani, some reformist clerics have called for all to rally around the Supreme Leader as a commander-in-chief who has a final say in all areas. The Supreme Leader might have come to realize that he has attacked too many fronts, especially when confrontation with the international community over the nuclear program has suffered from a weakened image within Iran. Such a realization, if reached, is enough to force his move, although it is very difficult to determine how he might adequately address the current disorder when he has clearly taken sides and represents an obstacle himself on the way towards a solution.

The Supreme Leader's public comments about Rafsanjani and some political figures' pleas to follow Khamenei's view might be a sign of change coming, though a weak sign that can disappear relatively quickly. The Iranian system, though quite authoritarian in many respects, has its own inherent safeguards to sidestep what the Leader asks for. That has happened before and so why not again, remarkably if the Supreme Leader has made comments designed to test waters and assess reactions. One thing is for sure though: In my view, he has reached the point of realizing this deadlock cannot carry on much longer. So the system should make a choice, which in its own eyes is a choice between bad and worse!

Baisrat, a website

Baisrat, a website belonging to the representative of Iran's Supreme Leader in the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps, has warned of five emerging fault lines now threatening the Iranian government. Two such fault lines have directly resulted from the recent presidential election. One is the "rift between clerics and velayat-e-faqih," the position of Supreme Leader, and the other is a "rift between the people and the State." IRGC's website has expressed concerns for media platforms used by or provided to opposition clerics. Such warnings are consistent with what some high ranking clerics like Ayatollah Ali Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani have predicted, that "people are turning away from clerics and showing more signs of accepting students and academics as their points of reference."

Who Cares

I never liked him.  He is just another akhund..and who the hell is Imam???? that khomeini the grand killer is the Imam????

Preposterous

these cult wilayat faqhi akhunds go around demoting anyone left and right if they don't prostrate themselves to their Messiah Khamenei. Personally, i dont care much about Rafsanjani since he helped creat this satanic rule of the faqhi 30 yrs ago. but i can't help but wonder if Sistani spoke a word against their God Khamenei would these animals demote him too?

باد آورده را باد میبرد

باد آورده را باد میبرد

same crap

ayatollah, hojjatoleslam, akhond, mullah....all the same crap

Har kharee beyad joz AntariNejad

Like for the last 30 years, khars va olaghs have not turned Iran into a stable...........

Now that he is an "ex" Ayatollah is he joining the human race?

Somehow I doubt it. I think the stench of being  an ayatollah is hard to wash. Maybe he can start by spending his ill gotten wealth on Iranian people. Maybe if he donated it all to scholarship it would be a good start. Alright Hashemi give it a try; maybe it works.

Indeed the worm has turned

such is the price you pay when you stand up to injustice
