I know that Rafsanjani is practicing damage control.
I do not believe the Iranian people want an Islamic Republic.
They have been lied to so often and treated so badly they are pursuing freedom. This has outgrown an internal conflict between Mullah’s.
Rafsanjani may not be able to put this back in the bottle. Whey do you think they arrested 26 Military officers? They (the Mullahs) are afraid, and should be.
“I do not believe the Iranian people want an Islamic Republic”.
There are millions of devout Muslims there. They will not let anyone else take over.
Maybe Obama will be president here and there. Lol!
