Iranian members of parliament are renewing a bid to summon President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad for questioning over some of his policies, the state-run Mehr news agency reported.
The move comes following recent reports of a rift between Ahmadinejad and Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei -- the country’s highest authority -- over the resignation of the intelligence minister. Ahmadinejad, who had been absent from official meetings for a week, denied there were conflicts when he returned to work on May 2, without explaining his absence.
