Iran: Influential cleric says regime’s officials are not listening to Khamenei

NCRI- An influential cleric and member of Iranian regime’s parliament says the infighting among the officials in  the regime is resulted from the fact that they are not taking the words of Ali Khamenei, the Supreme Leader “serious.”

Morteza Agha Tehrani, chairman of the Cultural Commission in the Iranian regime’s Parliament Agha-Tehrani told state-run news agency ISNA on Friday that the regime’s official “interpret”  his words and “that is wrong.”

Agha-Tehrani a close ally of Khamenei said “we have to see what the leader says and follow that. This is the minimum we can do.”

Agha-Tehrani used to be seen as the moral advisor and the ethics mentor of Ahmadinejad cabinet.
The Iranian regime’s Supreme Ali Khamenei on Saturday expressed frustration at intense public infighting between his senior officials, calling for “calm”.

He criticized the head of executive, legislative and judicial branches of the Iranian regime. “People need calmness, psychological and moral security in their lives,” Khamenei said.

Bitter internal feuding between Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and the speaker of the Iranian parliament has been escalating ahead of the regime’s presidential elections in June this year.

The infighting began when the parliament impeached and removed President Ahmadinajad’s labor and social affairs minister from office.
