The Last Student Who Became the Monitor; Ahmad Jannati

He now sits in the presidency of a parliament whose members' qualifications are reviewed by the Guardian Council, which he also leads. From the proposal to 'eliminate the triangle of Jim' and the announcement of the reformists' campaign success with the refrain 'I repeat', to the presidency of the political enemy of the reformists, Ahmad Jannati, the last candidate from Tehran in the Assembly of Experts, was like the last student who ultimately became the monitor. After an election that granted him entry into the Assembly with the lowest number of votes, he took the presidency of that parliament; following an election where one of the goals of reformist supporters was to prevent his entry. What is Ahmad Jannati's position in the structure of the Islamic Republic? How significant is the Assembly of Experts and the importance of its presidency? What does Ahmad Jannati's presidency over a parliament that reformists campaigned extensively to control mean for the faction close to Hassan Rouhani's government? This week's guest on the 'Sixth Hour' program, alongside the audience of Radio Farda, was Mohammad Javad Akbarin, a political analyst and religious reformist residing in France.
