Iran leader's warning appears to rebuke president

None

Iran's supreme leader warned Saturday he will intervene in the government's affairs anytime necessary in an apparent rebuke to President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad for challenging the clerical leader's all-encompassing authority.

 

Their most recent confrontation involved Ahmadinejad's dismissal last week of the country's powerful intelligence minister, whom Ayatollah Ali Khamenei then quickly reinstated in a slap to the president. (AP)
