Iran: Rafsanjani expresses doubts about the regime’s future

Anti-regime protest in Tehran, June 20, 2009NCRI- Ali Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani, mullahs’ former president and current head of the State Expediency Council expressed doubts that the mullahs’ regime “facing much public dissent can continue along its path,” said Hussein Marashi, the state run news agency ILNA reported on Friday.

Marashi, a former minister during Rafsanjani’s presidency, also warned that there is no hope that the regime can overcome the crises. 

“The system [regime] must admit that there are serious public dissents to the extent of a crisis.  At least 80 percent of Tehran residents are protesting the current situation and there is no hope that the current government can solve the problems,” he said.

He warned that the demands of people are “gradually increasing” and “the movement is being more radicalized… Hence the system [regime] must take the issue seriously.”

Marashi stressed that only reaching a compromise with various factions can prevent the downfall of the mullahs’ regime.
