Khamenei snubs Iranian president
Iran's supreme leader has overruled its president by ordering him to implement a law to supply gas to remote villages.
Iran is having its coldest weather in years and parliament had ratified a law to release extra funds to supply gas to rural areas undergoing shortages.
But Mahmoud Ahmadinejad refused to implement it, prompting the speaker to appeal to the supreme leader.
A BBC correspondent says Ayatollah Ali Khamenei's action is a rare public humiliation for President Ahmadinejad.

The supreme leader agreed that the law should be implemented and his letter ordering that it should, was read out in the parliament.

Critics of the president have become more vocal as the threat of war with the US or Israel over Iran's nuclear activities appears to have receded.
The political battle is heating up with parliamentary elections in two months, our correspondent says.

Your ordinary Iranian in the street wants shut of Ahmadinejad asap. All that's needed is a bit of patience from the west and as soon as election time arrives he'll be toast.
The big question is wether or not the west will wait. Don't forget that Saddam had given the US everything it had demanded well before the invasion, but the info was kept hidden from the ordinary western people lest we fought against it even more than lots of us did.
now that's a nice surprise
I hadn't realised the complexity of the hierarchy(s?) over there, Richard. Thanks to your very informative links I know know quite a few things I didn't. (isn't the web marvelous?)
What does come out pretty loud and clear though is that the Supreme Leader - when it matters most - comes out top dog. The one the people as a whole will listen to, respect and side with.
Thanks once again.
Richard,
Most of the time people confound Ahmadi-Nejad with the Mullahs. They are two separate entities in matters of foreign policy and demagoguery. Actually the supreme leader has the final say in foreign policy. And the Mullags are much more pragmatic than Ahmadi-nejad. They don't want another war, the war with Iraq has a terrible toll on the Iranian people.
However Ahmadi-Nejad is playing Bush's game because it is boosting his standing at home. Iranians have many urgent issues to care for, like a terrible economic context and the fact that the Islamic revolution didn't deliver its promises in matters of welfare and prosperity...
