Iran's parliament dismissed a Cabinet minister Tuesday over his fake degree from Oxford University, a vote seen as a humiliating blow to hardline President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad who faces elections next summer.
The Iranian leader has been at odds with the parliament before, but the impeachment of Interior Minister Ali Kordan was the first high-profile confrontation between the president and the 290-member assembly. It was a further sign that Ahmadinejad's presidency, already facing criticism over the economy, could be in trouble.
Many Ahmadinejad allies and hard-liners joined the opposition in voting 188-45 in favor of the removal, which went into effect immediately.
The case turned into a parliament drama last week, when a government official purportedly tried to pay legislators not to vote to oust Kordan.
A hard-line lawmaker slapped the official, Mohammad Abbasi, on the face. .. |
These are the group of people who aim to dazzle us with their arguments re: the Holocaust...?
