Hajjarian, Saeed

Key reformist advisor to President Khatami. Nearly killed in an assassination attempt in front of Tehran's City Hall. There is speculation that Hajjarian was targeted because he was pat of a plot of disgruntled former employees of the Intelligence Ministry who sought to overthrow the basis of the Islamic Republic and repudiate the teachings of G. Ayatollah Imam Khomenie. The essence of the fight is over Ayatollah Khomeini's teaching of These lies and others were the basis of an attempt to destroy Rafsanjani to clear the field for abandoning velayat i-faqih. Ayatollah Khomeini taught a political system where the Shia religious leader was the Supreme leader of the nation. Hajjarian with the help of other revolutionaries such as journalists Mashallah Shamsolvaezin and Akbar Gandji (also a former Intelligence Officer) sought to repudiate Khomeini and to institute a "reform" that was more of a revolution in that it sought to change Iran's form of Government. Hajjarian was shot and nearly killed and both Gandji and Shamsolvaezin went to prison. If one supported the Khomeini view of Islam then one might see this as good but if one thought Ayatollah Khomeini was fundamentally wrong then Hajjarian could be right. Hajjarian tried to use President Khatami in his effort but Khatami was never willing to repudiate Ayatollah Khomeini and break with velayat i-faqih. One offshoot of the plot to repudiate Ayatollah Khomeini was the brutal character assassination of Former President Ali Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani. Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyed Ali Khamenei and Rafsanjani key aids to Ayatollah Khomeini in the years when Ayatollah Khomeini was in exile from Iran. Hajjarian new that if he was to strip Ayatollah Khamenei of his power he would first have to deal with the hero of the Iranian Revolution Hashemi Rafsanjani. Akbar_Gandji the former Intelligence Officer led the attack with a series of what in America would be called hatchet jobs. The attacks took a number of forms including:
- The lie that Rafsanjani had enriched himself during his service to the nation.
- The lie that Rafsanjani was involved with murders committed by Gandji and Hajjarian's own Intelligence Ministry.
- The lie that Rafsanjani prolonged the Iran/Iraq war for his own benefit.
These lies and others were the basis of an attempt to destroy Rafsanjani to clear the field for abandoning velayat i-faqih and destroying the Islamic Republic of Iran.
