LONDON, United Kingdom: A London-based Saudi newspaper reported in its Tuesday May 3 editions that Iran's former president Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani who is preparing to run again in June has a comprehensive reformation plan.

Quoting an Iranian source close to Rafsanjani, Asharq Alawsat said that the plan contains giving priority internally to annulment of Wilayah Al-Faqih and externally restoration of relations with the United States.

According to the Arabic-language Asharq Alawsat the source confirmed to the daily that Rafsanjani desires the coming generations remember him that he is the one who ended the chapter in the book of religious oppression and despotism by amending the constitution, omitting Wilayah Al-Faqih, and including all national, liberal, leftist and moderate powers in the process of founding new State.

The daily reported that Rafsanjani began love-making with national and opposition liberal powers that call for change of rule through peaceful means, whereas his desire in opening new page of cooperation with these powers and formation of allied government in case he wins is apparent. This is to confront threats of change from outside and internal revolution through some generals of Revolutionary Guards and leaders in secret agencies and Al-Hawzah Al-Ilmiah in the holy city of Qom.
