“…15 This scenario was repeated in the election of the fourth assembly on December 2006, in which many reformists were excluded from running; only 33 percent of the applicants were approved by the Guardian Council. 16 The fourth assembly (2007-2016) became very controversial, especially after the emergence of the Green Movement and the conflict between Rafsanjani and Khamenei over the 2009 presidential election. Rafsanjani, who was a close ally of Khamenei, was elected chairman of the assembly in 2007 after the death of Ayatollah Ali Meshkini, the longstanding chair of the assembly.…”

"The objective of this article is to explore how political Sufism, in conjunction with political Shī’ism, influences contemporary Iranian internal and external affairs, the decision-making process, and the future political ideology. While religion has consistently been an integral part of Iranian state and culture, the primary faith has not always played a definitive role in political decisions throughout history, particularly in recent decades. To gain a deeper understanding of Iranian politics and its future trajectory, it is essential to comprehend the role of Sufi elements within it. This work elucidates the core political Sufi ideas and their persistence and development within Persian borders up to the present day, despite facing substantial opposition from the ulama. Furthermore, in order to identify these Sufi elements within the current Iranian political landscape, the article analyzes all presidential administrations since the Revolution and highlights how political Sufism has become ingrained in both the decision-making process and political propaganda. Key-words: Sufism, Iran, politics, Shī’ism, propaganda, eschatology"
