> But the supreme leader elects the Guardian Council
No he doesn't... Half of are recommended by judiciary to be approved by Parliament, the other half are appointed by the supreme leader for six year term.

The Assembly of Experts members are elected directly by the people every 8 years, and it operates independently of the Guardian Council once it's seated.
