Fundamentally, the fight conforms to a pattern of presidential politics that has troubled the Islamic Republic since the 1979 revolution. The system allows for two presidents, one divine, the other democratic. The divine leader, Ayatollah Khamenei, holds most of the power levers, controlling the military, the judiciary and the state broadcasting services.NYT
There is a rift between the religious president, who follows a warped version of an Arab religion while the un-divine president follows a further warping of the same religion. Like both are trying to deal with the horror that some Arab marauder invaded persia some 1300 years ago and left them with this bizarre religious belief, and they can't make it work.
