Hashemi between two sides?!
TWO MAJOR POLITICAL GROUPS EXIST IN THE ISLAMIC REPUBLIC OF IRAN.CONSERVATIVES AND REFORMISTS.ALTHOUGH THERE ARE NOT CRUCIAL DIFFERENCES AMONG THESE ORIENTATIONS,THEY HAVE VARIOUS APPROACHES TOWARD SOCIAL,CULTURAL AND POLITICAL PROBLEMS.IN OTHER WORDS DIFFERENCES ARE IN METHODS NOT IN THEIR FUNDAMENTAL ISLAMIC(SHIITE) WORLD VIEW AND IDEOLOGY.THERE ARE IMPORTAMT POLITICAL FIGURES AMONG IMAM KHOMEINI'S CLOSE FOLLOWERS LIKE KHATAMI AND KAROUBI THAT SUPPORT THE REFORMISTS ALLIANCE.HASHEMI RAFSANJAANI THE MOST IMPORTANT POLITICIAN OF IRAN IN THE LAST 27 YEARS AFTER ISLAMIC REVOLUTION IS THE MAN IN THE SHADOW.HE NEVER INTRODUCE HIMSELF AS A REFORMIST OR CONSERVATIVE HOWEVER, HIS ACTIONS AND WORDS COULD LOCATE HIM IN BOTH OF THESE CATEGORIES.ACCORDING TO HIS GREAT AND POWERFUL POSITION IN THE ISLAMIC GOVERNMENT, EACH SIDE WANTS TO GRAB HIS SUPPORT.NOW HE BECOMES THE CHAIRMAN OF THE "LEADERSHIP EXPERTS ASSEMBLY" AND HE STILL CONTINUES ON REPRESENTING HIS POLITICAL ATTITUDE AND MANNER AS A MEDIATOR BUT AT THE SAME TIME HE IS INTELLIGENT ENOUGH TO CHOOSE THE BEST WAY WHICH IS THE REFORMIST ONE OFCOURSE ON HASHEMI'S OWN RULES.
