This would make it harder for a government shuffle while the mullahs stay above it all. If, as it appears, many Iranians feel the vote was fraudulent, they many now tie that fraud to the legitimacy of the Islamic Republic not just the government. It is definitely an end game with the government and Islamic republic all in.
