Iran's Rejects Khomeini's Grandson
By Micah Halpern

Friday February 8, 2008

I've Been Thinking:

I spend a great deal of time trying to understand Iran.
I try to predict Iranian actions and behaviors.
And sometimes, even I am surprised by the action of Iranians.

Ali Eshragi, grandson of The Ayatollah Khomeini, was forbidden from running for office in the upcoming elections.
Eshragi even received the blessings of the current Supreme Leader, the
successor to his grandfather, Ayatollah Khamenei.

The committee that vets candidates rejected Eshragi.
The committee that vets candidates tows the line as decreed by Ahmadinejad.

Once upon a time Ahmadinejad's religious mentor was rejected by Khomeini, the founder of the revolution.
Nowadays, it appears that The Ayatollah Khomeini and his grandchildren are neither extreme enough nor Islamic enough for Ahmadinejad and his allies.
That is truly unbelievable.
