Two of Iran’s top leaders are embroiled in a political dispute over the country’s influential information minister, part of a continuing dispute over the Islamic Republic’s future course.
According to the Voice of America, more than 200 Iranian MPs have signed a statement urging President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad to obey an order from the country’s supreme leader to reinstate Heidar Moslehi as information minister.
The statement, which was made public on Wednesday, says the president is expected to adhere to orders from Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, who has the last word in state affairs.
In recent months, state-run media reports have portrayed Ahmadinejad and Khamenei at increasing odds over the political and social direction of the nation.
