Majles Takes on Ahmadinejad

Votes 165-1 to take president to court

Telegraph: Iran's parliament voted on Wednesday to take Mahmoud Ahmadinejad to court over his takeover of the country's vital oil ministry, escalating the power struggle between the president and the hard-line establishment that has turned against him. The 165-1 vote was the latest salvo in the political manoeuvring that began when Ahmadinejad publicly challenged Iran's supreme leader in April, only to back down. The confrontations appear to be part of a power struggle ahead of parliamentary elections next year and the vote for Ahmadinejad's successor in mid-2013 >>>

I doubt if anything serious is going to come out of it. For the fate of Khamenei is intertwined with that of Ahmadinejad, especially more so since the 2009 post-election coup! Although Ahmadi's foes in Majles and judiciary are itching to give him the boot, yet Khamenei would not risk admitting his own illegitimacy by letting Ahmadi fall! These pressure tactics are employed to keep him in line for the remainder of his presidency.
