After the Islamic Revolution in 1979, seven presidents formed 11 governments in Iran until 2017. These seven presidents had varying political and ideological discourses at different times in the political history of the Islamic Republic. Among the discourses of the presidents and the leaders of the Islamic Republic, the political-ideological differences between the seventh president and the second leader of the Islamic Republic from 2013 to 2017 took on a different hue. Gradually, with references from the Supreme Leader, it became clear that the views of Ayatollah Khamenei and Hassan Rouhani were not in harmony on certain political and theoretical issues, and sometimes different sounds emerged from these 'instruments.' Despite Hassan Rouhani himself labeling the 'confrontation of officials as the enemy's line,' the intellectual supporters of the Supreme Leader confirmed on a website created for 'collecting signatures and complaints against Hassan Rouhani in the Supreme Court' that there has been serious 'confrontation' between Ayatollah Khamenei and Hassan Rouhani in at least 35 cases, not merely a difference in political tastes.
