Responding to a call from 50 of the 86 members of the Assembly of Experts to be more supportive of Supreme Leader Khameini, Rafsanjani says that he stands by his comments during the July 17 Friday Prayers.
Rafsanjani who is head of the Assembly of Experts has demonstrated that he is willing to stand up to pressure from Hardliners to back down. Yet the call from the Assembly of Experts does kill the rumors that Rafsanjani is working behind the scenes to remove Khameini because this statement shows he does not have the votes to make such a move. The Assembly of Experts can theoritically remove the Supreme Leader if he is not doing his job.
