Ahmadinejad and Iran’s judiciary chief trade accusations
Verbal clashes between former Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and conservative judiciary chief Sadegh Amoli Ayatollah Larijani are reaching new heights.
Tensions between Iranian former President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and conservative judiciary chief Ayatollah Sadegh Amoli Larijani are reaching a climax, with both of them trading barbs against each other publicly.
On Dec. 13, at a summit with students, Larijani accused Ahmadinejad of trying to create “turmoil” and “sedition.”
Hitting directly at Ahmadinejad, Larijani said, “The actions of those who are making [different] kinds of accusations against the judiciary are a type of sedition. Because whoever undermines [Iran’s] political system is actually committing sedition.”
Of note, it has been claimed recently that the daughter of the judiciary chief has been arrested on spying charges, an accusation that has been repeatedly denied by officials.
