Rafsanjani is definitely no longer part of the opposition in Iran:
“Head of the Expediency Council, Ayatollah Ali Akbar Hashemi-Rafsanjani, said he was a firm believer in the legitimacy of the new Ahmadinejad administration.
“‘Since the inauguration of the 10th administration, I believe in its legitimacy. Presently Mr. [Mahmoud] Ahmadinejad attends the Expediency Council meetings as president, with invitations signed by myself,’ Rafsanjani said in a meeting with Iranian political figures in favor of the national unity plan.”
