Mr. Mohammad Ali Abtahi, Head of the Office and Legal and Parliamentary Affairs Deputy of the Reformist Government and Political Activist; Greetings

Can the Minister of Intelligence, whoever it may be, attend the Guardian Council's assembly without coordination with the effective branches of the system and so boldly convince twelve members, including both jurists and legal experts of the Guardian Council? And then, can these twelve members, without coordinating with the top of the power hierarchy, disqualify the head of the Expediency Discernment Council without consultation regarding the implications?

Assuming the answer is positive and that the impossible becomes reality:

Regardless of the fact that Abbasali Kadkhodai repeatedly denied such an event at the time and lacked the courage to express the truth until Sheikh Moslehi later recounted it, albeit with some allusions, the question remains, under the assumption that the answer to the above question is positive:

How did Ayatollah Khamenei, as the Leader, not take action against the Guardian Council and the Minister of Intelligence at the time to prevent a vibrant election, "without defending or speaking against Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani" and remained silent?

The silence of a leader who, as evident in the daily notes of Akbar Hashemi—which have never been denied—clearly intervenes in the minutest affairs of the country is noteworthy. It is particularly clear in the diaries from 1997 to 2001, and you will read more until 2016.

Do you still assert that "six individuals determine the fate of the country"?
