Ahmadinejad rejects parliament's subsidies law
Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad rejected parliament's subsidies law on Monday and demanded double the cuts in food and fuel supports, in a rebuke to an assembly dominated by his erstwhile conservative allies.
Iranian opposition leaders, Mir Hossein Mousavi and Mehdi Karroubi criticized Ahmadinejad administration for its timing of cutting government subsidies in view of Iran's current economic situation.
