Iran kicked out "shark" Rafsanjani Ahmadinejad is now without opponents

The former president Rafsanjani, the last his most dangerous opponent, leave the scene and Ahmadinejad is increasingly confident since he was brought to the presidency by a brazen electoral fraud in 2009. The government yesterday launched a new attack on the opposition front with a massive deployment of forces in the capital and attacks with tear gas at groups of unarmed demonstrators.

And with the perfidy which distinguishes the sites has forced the opposition to deny that the movement's leaders, and Karrubi Moussavi, of which there is no news since 14 February, had been taken from their home and moved to a secret location. Probably have now been brought home, but continue to be unreachable.

In recent weeks the judiciary had always contradicted the statements of the children reported by the sites. "Maybe he likes being at home with the lights out," he joked Attorney General Dolatabadi. Former President Rafsanjani is still occupied a key position in the intricate map of the Iranian power: the presidency - won in 2007 with the commitment to put the policy on tracks less radical than those announced by Ahmadinejad - that of the Council of Experts, 86 mujtahed or jurists, who have the task of monitoring the work of the supreme leader, appoint a successor in the event of death and, in extreme cases, even remove him.

Yesterday he withdrew the application for the renewal of the charge. Announced a withdrawal after the attacks of his daughter Faezeh Basij, and the resignation of his son Mohsen Hashemi from the direction of the Tehran Metro to which the government refuses contributions pledged for the extension work (a third son, Mehdi, pursued by a warrant the catch is in exile in London).

The Kuseh, the shark, as Rafsanjani was called, he lost his teeth. His name will no longer be supported - as it had been in the last thirty-two years - with the adjective "powerful." In his place was elected the octogenarian Ayatollah Mahdavi Khani, backed by the government. Rector of Imam Saddaeq where he trains future diplomats, Khan had been a follower of Khomeini's revolution from the start and prime minister in 80 years.

Ahmadinejad seems to have won all along the line. The opposition movement is afraid, his best-known representatives are in jail or in exile, who knows how to take to the streets to meet a prison, isolation, torture. Who does it still have young people who want to do away with the Islamic Republic.

objective in which we do not recognize, however, some people who had voted for Moussavi but is reluctant to go against a system whose legitimacy is tied to religion, always a pillar of the Iranian tradition. The struggle between Rafsanjani and Ahmadinejad was started in 2005 when he, with the help of the supreme leader Khamenei's inflicted a humiliating defeat in the elections.

Unnecessarily Rafsanjani had departed in recent months by the green movement, condemning the resumption of the event.
