Meeting of the Assembly of Experts0630 GMT: Ahmadinejad Watch. While the regime's elite gathers in Tehran, the President is off on another tour, inaugurating several projects in Sirjan in Kerman Province.
0615 GMT: After more than a week dominated by the promotion of the Non-Aligned Movement's summit, the regime returns to domestic business with the two-day meeting of the 86-member Assembly of Experts. The body, which formally names the Supreme Leader, also gathers periodically to consider the state of the Islamic Republic.
In the ceremonial opening, the head of the Assembly, Ayatollah Mahdavi Kani, emphasised that last week's summit had proved that Iran is not isolated in the world. He referred to last month's deadly earthquake in East Azerbaijan,spoke of the need for security and the "enthusiastic participation of people" in all aspects of Iranian life, and reinforced the Supreme Leader's call for the three branches of Government to work together.
The session was then closed to journalists.
