« Iran Egypt Relations Thawing | Main | Barenboim and Cohen are Cancelled in Ramallah » Friday In Iran
By Micah Halpern
Friday July 17, 2009 I'm Predicting: Friday is the day of rest for Islam. It is the day on which a special set of prayers is recited in mosques around the world. Iranians are looking forward to this Friday's sermon. Expectations are high ... but I am not expecting anything too earth shattering. Students who protested the election results have demanded that Rafsanjani "break his silence by defending the values of the revolution and clearing up the speculation surrounding him." Western coverage had us believe that Rafsanjani was a supporter of the protesters - but he was not. His daughters publicly supported Mousavi, but Rafsanjani was a fence sitter and that is a far cry from a supporter. Rafsanjani is a bitter rival of Ahmadinejad and has a very tense relationship with the Supreme Leader Khamenei. Read my new book THUGS. It's easy. Just click. 4 June 2017 12:13 PM in Predictions
