in a news report quotes Alaeddin Boroujerdi, the chairman of the National Security and Foreign Policy Committee, as saying that he thinks it would be better that the Intelligence Ministry continues its activities in the current form without being changed into an organization. Boroujerdi added the proposal to change the ministry into an organization was raised in the previous parliaments as well. Boroujerdi also stated that if the Intelligence Ministry remains a ministry, the parliament can better supervise its activities. In addition, continued cooperation between the Majlis and the Intelligence Ministry can make up for shortcomings, Boroujerdi opined.

SHARQ in a news report quotes Mohammad-Nabi Habibi, the secretary general of the Islamic Coalition Party, as saying that President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad must not allow those around him to interfere in the affairs concerning the appointment or dismissal of officials. He said the president should become vigilant about such interferences until it is not too late. On the resignation of Intelligence Minister Heydar Moslehi which was accepted by President, Habibi stated that the president’s acceptance of the resignation was not justified which came shortly after the Leader visited the Intelligence Ministry and expressed appreciation for the efforts of the ministry personnel, particularly the minister. He also urged the president not to allow others undermine the authority of ministers in appointing or dismissing their deputies
