Iran’s Ahmadinejad gets rebuff on domestic issue

Ahmadinejad played role of a winter Scrooge, hoping to cut programs to Iran’s poor to help fund their heating needs.

Robert Tait reported for the Guardian Tuesday Jan. 22, on Iran president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and his domestic politics debacle - hopefully he doesn’t take his anger out on the infidel West…

The political authority of the Iranian president, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, suffered a serious blow yesterday.

The country's most powerful figure, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, sided with MPs by ordering him to supply cheap gas to villages suffering power cuts in an unexpectedly harsh winter.

In a humiliating rebuff, Iran's supreme leader, who has the final say over all state matters, ordered the enactment of a law requiring the government to provide £500m-worth of gas supplies from emergency reserve funds. 

Yes, just a domestic flap, but interesting - Iran’s true authority rests with this Ali Khamenei guy.
