No, that’s not a typo, though it could be false hope.

According to a report from the Open Society Institute-funded Eurasianet, Rafsanjani already has the votes in the Council of Experts to remove Khamene’i and revoke the rigged election results. Apparently Ali al-Sistani is supporting the move.

Boy, would I ever love to believe that! And it makes sense of the reports, apparently confirmed, that Rafsanjani’s daughter and three other female relatives was arrested and released. That can only be read as a threat to all the clerics involved that their families are not safe.
