    A Moderate ayatollah has passed away ,his competition with Khamini is well documented, he previously claimed to survive multiple assassination attempts , could it be this time related to this latest scandals

    "
    Said Tossi, (a very close Freind to Khamini and his own son private teacher) the prominent Quran reciter [was] accused of raping 19 children… His students. Tossi denied all charges against him… [and] threatened to leak the names of 100 of Iran’s high profile officials also implicated in raping and molesting children, if he was prosecuted."

    leaks pointed toward an attempt of …The Army of the Guardians of the Islamic Revolution of planning to assassinate Tossi to preserve the leadership reputation and put an end to the scandal.But plan B may went into different direction. Protesters in Rafsanjani's massive funeral alleged a Russian involvement in poisoning Rafsanjani...."Death to Russia" chanting forced the government TV to sway away from coverage

    Well, I'm sure you're going to provide some nuance in this debate.

    There are members and fans here who might think of Refsanjani as the mother Teresa of Mulla's regime (which is to some extent true) .
    many accept the fact Revolution devoure its own children, he had his fair share of bloodshed , but the main difference he distanced himself actually by being pragmatic with no record or accusation of rape or pervert interests ,he kept his wealth under a billion $, he also experienced a taste of his own medicine ( he chosen to install Khumini's succeer ) but his own daughter in Mulla's prison along with his son and Rafsanjani himself was politically eliminated after an imposed home arrest for sometime
