Iranian censors have blocked access to a number of news websites sympathetic to President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad , adding further fuel to a high-level power struggle at the heart of the Islamic regime…. Dozens of Ahmadinejad’s allies have been arrested in recent months and media adviser Ali Akbar Javanfekr, one of his top aides, this week lost an appeal against a six-month jail term. But Iran’s parliamentary elections, scheduled for 2 March, are seen as an opportunity for Ahmadinejad to fight back…. The current parliament, which is dominated by Khamenei’s people, has been critical of Ahmadinejad and has repeatedly threatened him with impeachment.
