Rafsanjani: Iranians must heed leader's guidelines

Influential former president Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani has urged people to follow Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei's guidelines, five weeks after he challenged the authority of Iran's most powerful figure.

Rafsanjani, who last month defied a call by hard-line clerics to back Iran's disputed presidential election result, also called for action to foster unity, the official IRNA news agency reported. (Reuters)
