When Ahmadinejad is the one standing up to Iran’s right wing, you know things have gone completely haywire. From the NYTimes:
The resignation resolved a week of acrimony over the deputy, Esfandiar Rahim Mashaei, who had drawn fierce criticism from hard-liners over comments he made last year that were friendly to Israel. It also underscored the authority within Iran’s Islamic political system of Ayatollah Khamenei, whose handwritten letter — made public by state television on Friday — appeared to have overridden Mr. Ahmadinejad’s persistent refusal to dismiss his trusted deputy.
“Dogs and cats, living together, mass hysteria!”
