Here is a recap of the Key Players I have highlighted so far. I think I got the main ones down for now although there are still many more important people in the mix in Iran. I will continue to update this, but on a less frequent basis.
I have also indicated each Key Player's political loyalty based on my analysis of the four groups vying for power in Iran right now: Reformists, Pragmatic Conservatives, Hardliners, and Ahmadinejad Loyalists. The reformists and pragmatic conservatives roughly make up the opposition while the hardliners and Ahmadinejad loyalists make up the regime. Obviously there is much tension within the opposition and regime camps based the different groups that have alligned with each other:
- Mir Hussein Mousavi (Reformist)
- Mahmoud Ahmadinejad (Ahmadinejad Loyalist)
- Ali Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani (Pragmatic Conservative)
- Ali Khamenei (Hardliner)
- Mehdi Karroubi (Reformist)
- Mohammad Khatami (Reformist)
- Mohsen Rezaei (Pragmatic Conservative)
- Ali Larijani (Hardliner)
- Zahra Rahnavard (Reformist)
- Hossein-Ali Montazeri (Reformist)
- Mohammad Taghi Mesbah Yazdi (Ahmadinejad Loyalist)
