#1 No offense, but I'm deeply skeptical as to how the Iranian political game is played. How do we know that this whole thing wasn't just staged for external consumption in order to show the Euros that it was the nice fluffy reformists who won in order to act as a PR barrier against US action against them?

#2 Sorry Dan! I'm deeply offended. And nothing you could say can put my emotions at rest. If the current situation doesn't improove then I'm going to buy a sequined suit and become a pearly queen. I'll travel around the world and seek my destiny.

As for the guardian council, yes okay, fine whatever, I'll pray, five times and more, yes, sure, you bet, may I have another!

#3 The Guardian Council is just throwing the reformers, or more probably the external world a bone. This is nothing but window dressing. The GC holds the power and they are not going to let go until they get their asses kicked every way to Sunday.
