Why did the Islamic Republic eliminate Rafsanjani, yet leave Hassan Rouhani untouched?
The Iranian regime is fully aware that Rouhani and his associates maintain active back-channels with Western powers. Yet, unlike Hashemi Rafsanjani—who was assassinated during peacetime simply for challenging Khamenei—Rouhani remains protected.
This calculated tolerance reveals the regime’s terror of collapse. Facing looming military confrontation, Khamenei views Rouhani as a critical last-ditch contingency: a familiar face to plead with the West to halt an offensive at the eleventh hour.
