The heads of Iran's three branches of government have met to discuss problems facing the nation.

Iran's President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, the parliament speaker Ali Larijani and the head of Iran's Judiciary Ayatollah Sadeq Larijani held talks at the legislative body.

The meeting comes following last weekend's remarks by the Leader of Iran's Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.

Ali Larijani told ISNA after meeting that they talked inflation and economic problems in the country.

Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei had urged the heads of the three branches of government to set aside differences and join hands to solve economic problems of the Iranian people.

Ayatollah Khamenei also called for solidarity among all Iranian officials in the face of enemy plots.

A clash between Iran's government and parliament spilled out into the open on February 3 over the impeachment of a minister.

During an open parliamentary session, President Ahmadinejad played a tape showing a meeting between the former caretaker of the Social Security Organization Saeed Mortazavi and Fazel Larijani, the brother of Parliament Speaker Ali Larijani. The video purportedly showed Fazel Larijani attempting to use his family's political status for financial gains.

Fazel Larijani had said that he will file a lawsuit against Mortazavi and President Ahmadinejad for what he called an intrusion of privacy.

The heated debate finally led to the dismissal of Minister of Labor Abdolreza Sheikhol-eslami.
