There are reports coming out of Iran over a secret meeting between Grand Ayatollah Nouri Hamedani and Grand Ayatollah Safi-Golpayegani. Hamedani reportedly expressed regret over his decision to congratulate Ahmadinejad to Safi-Golpayegani, and said he was tricked into doing so by the regime.If this shift in Hamedani's loyalties is true, then he would be joining the eight other Grand Ayatollahs who have sided with the Green movement, and would notably leave Khamenei alone in his support of the Ahmadinejad government. That is to say that not a single Iranian Grand Ayatollah will have endorsed the election results. This does not bode well for the regime, and if the clerical establishment lines up behind the opposition, then "Islam" may prove to be the savior of the "Republic" after all.
