THOUGH STREET demonstrations are fewer, Iran's political crisis appears to be intensifying. Over the weekend several of the Islamic Republic's most senior leaders openly disputed the attempt by Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, the supreme leader, to end debate about last month's presidential election. One former president, Ali Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani, said the government had lost the trust of many Iranians. A second, Mohammad Khatami, boldly called for a national referendum on the government's legitimacy. Another attempt by Mr. Khamenei to silence the criticism on Monday merely provoked an outburst from defeated presidential candidate Mir Hossein Mousavi, who ridiculed the government's propaganda claims that opposition demonstrations had been orchestrated by foreign powers.
