Tabnak.ir carried a piece last week describing a particularly candid Q&A between Hashemi Rafsanjani and students at Azad Islamic University in Mashad. During the meeting, Rafsanjani was asked why he had remained ’silent’ on events of the last few months. “I did not remain silent”, Rafsanjani replied, ”my positions are well known.” Rafsanjani expressed dismay at the ‘extremism’ that has enveloped all sides of the political spectrum in the wake of elections. The Chairman of the Assembly of Experts and the Expediency Council, said further he had faith in the power of the Iranian people, as it was they who accomplished the Islamic Revolution–but that in deciding their course of action, all sides must act within the context of the law. –EDC
