BETTER WAYS TO RESTORE ORDER THAN SUPREME ARROGANCE
The emergence of the wrongful role of Khamenei's young son, both in action and in pretending to something as obscene as a right of succession to "Supreme Leader", may be something that gives older clerics room to do something.
One who could play a significant part is the very elderly Grand Ayatollah Ali al-Sistani, in Najef but of Iranian ancestry. He could ask that people open up their homes, both in Iraq and Iran, to the politically disenfranchised of Iran.
This would be a humanitarian gesture that fits, that would also send an indirect signal to the hardliners to unclench their fist, presently, that there are limits, that "Islamic" show-trials for protesters with a universal right to express their beliefs will not be accepted.
