Baku – APA. An Iranian hard-line publication is calling for the arrest of one of President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad’s closest confidants amid a widening political power struggle, APA reports quoting “Associated Press”.
The demand Wednesday by the Ya Lesarat weekly does not mean authorities must act. But it reflects the fierce battles between Ahmadinejad and ultra-conservative forces who accuse him of trying to challenge the authority of Iran’s Supreme Leader.
The publication says it’s now time to arrest presidential chief-of-staff Esfandiar Rahim Mashaei. Authorities already have arrested up to 25 people Ahmadinejad loyalists in recent weeks.
Hard-liners consider Mashaei the leader of a so-called "deviant current" seeking to shape the next government after Ahmadinejad steps down in 2013.
