0615 GMT: All-Is-Well Alert. The Deputy Minister of Oil has assured that gasoline prices will not rise by the end of the Iranian year in March, as the country's refineries are producing at "maximum capacity".
0535 GMT: Uncertainty this morning over the possible interrogation of President Ahmadinejad by Parliament....
Some Iranian outlets reported that the Board of Parliament had approved the questioning, initially backed by a petition from 102 MPs. That approval would be especially significant because it indicates that the Supreme Leader's office has withdrawn its opposition to, or even endorsed, the interrogation.
The news has receded, however. State news agency IRNA, linked to Ahmadinejad, understandably has no mention of the process, and Press TV is also silent.
Fars, associated with the Revolutionary Guards, does not make a direct reference, although it points to the key issues in the questioning with an article on Ahmadinejad's strategy over "national production" and the "resistance economy".
Khabar Online, the outlet for Speaker of Parliament Ali Larijani, takes an interesting path into the topic. It asks what happened at a meeting between MP Gholam Ali Haddad Adel --- a former Speaker of Parliament and member of the Supreme Leader's inner circle, who has expressed his opposition to the interrogation --- and Ahmadinejad.
