Iran's official news agency said on Sunday that President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad dismissed a government official over allegations he tried to pay lawmakers in exchange for their promise not to impeach a minister.
The official, Mohammad Abbasi, allegedly tried to persuade parliament members last week not to impeach the country's interior minister by offering them money.
The minister, Ali Kordan, faces an impeachment hearing on Tuesday after he admitted he held a fake honorary degree from Oxford University.
