#1 Sounds like Rafsanjani is leaning towards the Soviet Troika model for the Supreme Leader : after Stalin died, there was an agreement that any future leader of the Soviet Union would have to be approved by the Army, the KGB, and the Communist Party. Anyone who failed to get all 3 votes would NOT be made Premier. And it appears Rafsanjani's motives are the same - never again to have a Supreme Leader with the unlimited power of Khomeini.
