Abtahi: Rouhani’s Disqualification Was Political
Seyed Mohammad Ali Abtahi, a member of the Assembly of Combatant Clerics, like many others, considers Mr. Rouhani’s disqualification to be political. In fact, a strategy was formed to prevent Mr. Rouhani’s participation because he was ready to enter with a different agenda.
Mr. Rouhani has been a long-standing manager in the country, and God forbid if a crisis arose, he could have managed it in the Assembly of Experts. Perhaps he was one of the strongest figures who could have been seen more within the framework of succession issues.
