I started a site called Notes on Friday Sermons. I find that understanding the Islamic Republic of Iran is easier if you know what the Friday sermon was in Tehran. It is not limited to the Tehran sermon but I focus on the acting Friday congregational prayer leaders in Tehran, Ayatollah Ahmad Jannati and Former President Ali Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjan
