Iran's conservative elements have forced out two significant government officials, destabilizing President Masoud Pezeshkian's moderate administration while the country grapples with severe crises, including inflation and energy shortages. The conservative-controlled Parliament impeached the Finance Minister and removed the former foreign minister from a vice-presidential role. This political shake-up raises doubts about Pezeshkian's government's stability and the potential for further dismissals. In a powerful response, Pezeshkian highlighted numerous pre-existing challenges, emphasizing the critical state of affairs that have plagued his administration since its inception.
Iran's conservatives have ousted two high-profile officials, throwing President Masoud Pezeshkian's new, moderate government into turmoil and raising questions about its survival.
The current Parliament and judiciary are controlled by the conservatives, who have warned more impeachments will follow, contributing to instability in Pezeshkian's administration.
Mr. Pezeshkian reacted to the ouster by delivering an unusually scathing public speech, expressing his frustration over energy deficiencies and external threats.
From the day we took over, we were confronted with deficiencies in energy, water and power, and extreme debts across various sectors, Mr. Pezeshkian stated.
