Photo essay: Rafsanjani heads Expediency Council meeting amid deep divisions
Hopeless looks in a meeting of Expediency Council whose members have become bitter enemies, divided between supporters and opponents of Khamenei's policies. Reuters reports: Mohsen Rezaie, a conservative presidential contender in June, urged Iran's leaders on Friday to consider Mousavi's demands as a "constructive" solution to reduce tension, the semi-official ILNA news agency reported on Saturday. Rezaie is a secretary of the powerful arbitration body, the Expediency Council, led by influential former president Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani. Photos by ISNA's Mohammad Kazempour.

Mossavi is not enough no compromise
by Veiled Prophet of Khorasan on Sun Jan 03, 2010 08:59 AM PSTRafsanjani is going to try to save this miserable excuse for a regime. He will fail. Islam has to go; so does the Islamic Republic. The only solution is that they should go. 1400 years of Islam is enough. We have suffered a long time and don't need any more.

Something tells me that Rafsanjani will try to oust Ahmadinejad
by Darius Kadivar on Sun Jan 03, 2010 06:53 AM PSTI think This FOX Rafsanjani will be cutting deals with Khamenei to find a way out of this crisis by ousting Ahmadinejad in order to save the Regime once more from collapse.
With the help of all the Islamic Think Tanks I am sure they will manage to fool Everyone again.
All this Doesn't Smell Good ! ...
Mousavi's demands?
by Sargord Pirouz on Sun Jan 03, 2010 06:20 AM PSTMousavi offered suggestions for a compromise, not demands. (Who is he to make demands?) He's boycotted the Expediency Council for years now. And many of the radicalized protesters who turned to violence and destruction during Ashura don't even recognize him as their leader.
So they're to report recommendations to the SL (one of the real responsibilities of the council). It would be more interesting to know the results, than simply making adolescent-type remarks about who looks like what and so on.

If there was a chance to salvage this clusterf*&k
by Bavafa on Sat Jan 02, 2010 05:05 PM PSTit was right after the election, but the regime chose to poor gasoline on the fire instead. Every time they push people, the fire gets hotter and their demise get nearer.
The way I see it, these Akhoon and their reign of power is doomed to fail soon, unless there is an artificial (or otherwise) attack by West/Israel on Iranian territory which will turn the focus towards the enemy from outside, some people may feel the need to unite against that common enemy and at least will give the Sepah/Basije the even more free hand to come down on opposition hard.

by Ahmed from Bahrain on Sat Jan 02, 2010 02:55 PM PSTyou trust anyone of those enough to buy a second hand car from, let alone assign them to run your country. Notice not a single woman amongst them! Yet each one of them came into this world through a woman bearing them for 9 months, whereas the father had his 5 minutes of pleasure, and did his roza khooni into the child's ears for the rest of his life.
I thought Persians were smarter than that to let these ignorant idiots run their country for 30 years, and buggered if I know for how many more years.
If they are happy to pass fattwas to call anyone murtad and thus deserving to be stripped of all their rights and shot on the spot, then there is only one name for that:
Barbarians.

یک کرمی هست به اسم (Triamcinolone Acetonide) که اگر آخوندها به مُهر روی پیشانیشان بزنند رنگ تاریک آن بعد از مدتی محو میشود. پیشنهاد میکنم که استعمال آن را شروع کنند که بزودی عبا و عمامهء خود را باید بکنند و خود را مخفی کنند.
