Two weeks before the Iranian New Year, which begins on March 21, lawmakers in Tehran are maneuvering to impeach three members of moderate President Hassan Rouhani’s administration. Intriguingly, Reformist parliamentarians appear to be spearheading the move.
Minister of Cooperatives, Labor and Social Welfare Ali Rabiee, Minister of Roads and Urban Development Abbas Akhoundi, and Mahmoud Hojjati, the agriculture minister, seem set for difficult days ahead.
