| Summary / Abstract (Note) | On 7 February, the Iranian parliament (Majlis-e Shora-ye Islami) summoned President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad for questioning over his domestic and foreign policies. Ahmadinejad has a month in which to appear before the legislature, in what is the first time since the Islamic Revolution in 1979 that parliament has demanded to cross-examine the president. This timetable means he could appear close to the 2 March legislative elections. |
