Rafsanjani to Head Key Iran Cleric Body Former Iranian President Hashemi Rafsanjani was picked Tuesday to head a key clerical body empowered with choosing or dismissing the country's supreme leader — a vote seen as a victory for Iran's moderate conservatives, state media reported.

….

The body's real clout only kicks in after the supreme leader is gone — a sort of Iranian version of the Vatican's College of Cardinals when they gather to pick a new pope.

The assembly has done that only once since the 1979 Islamic Revolution. In 1989, it picked Khamenei to succeed his late mentor, the Islamic Revolution patriarch Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini.

ELMAT: That means he discovered that Khamenei days are numbered and want to to be sure he is going to control the appointment of the new one.
