Rafsanjani to Ahmadinejad: Follow System

After the Assembly of Experts meeting yesterday, Rafsanjani put out a statement in which he asks Ahmadinejad to follow the law and system of the Islamic Republic. Here is a summary of his message:

Mr President, it is time for you to compromise, especially with the senior clerics, in a process overseen by the Supreme Leader. Doing so, you will acknowledge where the final authority lies in the Islamic Republic: with Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, backed by his clerical experts, and not with Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. Doing so, you will acknowledge that your direction and your officials are responsible for post-election abuses which must be punished and redressed.
