Iran's president on Wednesday shunned a Cabinet meeting for the second consecutive time, apparently expressing his discontent over a recent government appointment by the country's supreme leader. Sources in Tehran claim there is a growing rift between Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.
The confrontation stems from Ahmadinejad's recent dismissal of the intelligence minister, Heidar Moslehi, who was then promptly reinstated by Khamenei. Sources believe Moslehi's resignation came following a dispute between him and the president's chief of staff, Esfandiar Rahim Mashai.
