Khamenei, concerned with repairing the damage caused by his acceptance of the fraudulent reelection in 2009 of former President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, was willing to accept the victory in June of Rouhani, a conservative reformist whom he trusted. He must have calculated that the new president would have to ameliorate the consequences of Ahmadinejad’s foreign-policy freelancing and economic mismanagement, which has had as much to do with the collapse of the Iranian economy as US-led international sanctions.
哈梅内伊意图修复他接受2009年前总统内贾德不干净的连任所造成的污点，愿意接受6月份鲁哈尼的胜利。鲁哈尼是他所信任的保守改革派。他一定预料到了新总统必须改善内贾德外交政策放任恣睢和经济治理不善所造成的后果。伊朗经济之所以崩溃，内贾德的内政外交的“功劳”不下于美国领导的国际制裁。
