Ahmadinejad Arriving at Parliament0625 GMT: President Ahmadinejad has arrived at Parliament for his interrogation by MPs. Ahmadinejad reportedly faces a list of ten questions, including challenges over his Government's handling of the economy.
The process could lead to impeachment; however, the immediate pressure was eased on Monday when a group of seven MPs, including Ahmadinejad's leading critics and supporters, released a letter calling for a "discussion" rather than a grilling of the President. Ahmad Tavakoli, prominent in the criticism of the Government, later said that Ahmadinejad could serve out his remaining 14 months in office provided he gave honest answers in that discussion.
Ahmadinejad, accompanied by 1st Vice President Mohammad Reza Rahimi and several Ministers, was welcomed by Speaker of Parliament Ali Larijani.
