Tehran, Iran, February 19

By Mehdi Sepahvand –- Trend:

The impeachment of Iran’s Minister of Transport Abbas Akhondi failed as it did not draw enough votes from lawmakers, Trend correspondent reported February 19.

The impeachment session which was being broadcast live on radio ended with 74 yays, 176 nays, and five abstentions.

Akhondi was posed questions about a recent deadly train crash in Semnan Province, why the border province of Sistan-Baluchestan had no highways, and his dismissal of the scandalous Ahmadinejad-inherited Mehr housing plan, among other questions.
