		The unceremonious demise of “the Iranian exception,” however, is only the beginning of the next round in the ongoing tug of war over the shape of Iran’s post-revolutionary polity.
		By disqualifying nearly all the reformist candidates in the 2004 elections, the conservative current has attempted to put a final end to the long transformation that seemed to be moving inexorably toward a complete democratization of the Iranian political scene.

		Governors in charge of bigger or more important areas or with special personal claims exercised wider powers than ordinary muqtis [=holders of iqtas] and were referred to as walis.
