Actually, it is. It's my understanding that the council that appoints the Ayatollah has the power to remove him, and they're leaning moderate. -- nm - Mop (235 lbs) Jun 19, 09:02 3
- I believe Rafsanjani is head of the council and he and and the supreme leader do not see eye to eye -- nm - eag Jun 19, 09:04 1
  - that's putting it mildly, from what I can tell... -- nm - znufrii Jun 19, 09:05
- That's news to me -- nm - con_carne Jun 19, 09:03
Could be, if Rafsanjani can persuade a majority of the Council of Experts that he is no longer acceptable as Supreme Leader. -- nm - znufrii Jun 19, 08:54 2
- And more than likely Rafsanjani would become the new supreme leader -- nm - eag Jun 19, 09:05 1
  - Which could pose it's own problems down the road... -- nm - znufrii Jun 19, 09:08
