Why Ahmadinejad is dismissing high-level Iranian officials

Many critics say a number of personnel changes by Mahmoud Ahmadinejad have to do with the growing influence of one of his closest aides, Esfandiar Rahim-Mashaei.

In this file photo from 2009, Iranian president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad sits with his chief of staff, Esfandiar Rahim-Mashaei, left. Rahim-Mashaei, whose daughter is married to Ahmadinejad's son, is said to be behind the recent firings of several prominent Iranian officials.
