Iran lawmakers: Ahmadinejad must back intel chief

Iran's parliament is telling President Mahmoud Ahmadineajd to obey an order from the country's supreme leader to reinstate Iran's intelligence minister.

The statement from lawmakers deepens the high-level political battle over Heidar Moslehi, who resigned Sunday over an apparent rift with Ahmadinejad. But Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei quickly ordered Moslehi to remain. (AP)
