Those battle lines loom large as Egyptians are set to vote in a presidential runoff that pits an ex-regime stalwart Ahmed Shafiq, a former Air Force Commander and Mr. Mubarak's last prime minister against the Muslim Brotherhood's Mohammed Morsi.
The court also ruled that former Prime Minister Ahmed Shafiq can remain a presidential candidate in this weekend's runoff election, despite his close association with the former regime.
And some of the Iranians who boycotted yesterday's election to protest against the regime say already now that if it comes to a runoff between these two candidates next week that they will vote for Rafsanjani.
