During a meeting of the Expediency Council, a couple of interesting things occurred with Rafsanjani who heads the council.
For the first time, Rafsanjani expressed some support for Khamenei perhaps realizing that he does not have the votes in the Assembly of Experts to remove him, "the current situation needs everyone to observe the leader's decrees and advice." Yet he also called on all sides to compromise and come together to resolve the crisis. This is basically the political approach that Rafsanjani takes in which he never comes down too hard in one camp or another.
However Mousavi's Facebook Page is reporting that it is significant that Ahmadinejad would not sit next to Rafsanjani as is customery for such a ceremony. Clearly the political divisions in Iran are alive and well no matter what Rafsanjani does to try to calm things down.
