Iran intelligence minister sacked
No reason was given for the sacking of Intelligence Minister Gholam Hossein Mohseni Ejeie.
Culture and Islamic Guidance Minister Mohammad Hossein Saffar Harandi quit, saying the government was weakened.
Mr Ahmadinejad's did not appoint his First Vice-President, Esfandiar Rahim Mashaie, as Ayatollah Ali Khamenei told him his choice was unacceptable. Hardly surprising, as Mr Mashaie had angered hardliners last year by saying Iranians and Israelis were friends, which sounds quite bizarre.
IMO: Ahmadinejad must be wishing he had Gordon Brown's job by now (joke only). This is what is known as "fresh political turmoil".
