The impeachment push, driven by MPs aligned with the <em>Paydari Front<\/em>, comes amid a worsening economic crisis and fierce factional struggles within the regime.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The rumors surrounding Farzin\u2019s dismissal began circulating on social media on February 10, prompting an immediate response from the government. Ali Ahmadnia, head of government information services, dismissed the speculation <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/ali_ahmadnia\/status\/1889259128154964112\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">via social media, stating<\/a>, \u201cFrom minutes ago, news about the dismissal of Farzin, the Governor of the Central Bank, has been spreading. This claim is false.\u201d Despite this denial, speculation persists amid worsening economic instability and public distrust of the regime.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Meanwhile, Parliament\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.irna.ir\/news\/85747553\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Presidium has formally referred<\/a> the impeachment motion against Hemmati to the Economic Commission. Calls for Hemmati\u2019s removal have been building for weeks, with <em>Paydari Front<\/em> lawmakers spearheading the attack, which analysts view as a power grab within the ruling elite. Alireza Salimi, a member of the Presidium, explained, \u201cOnce the impeachment motion is submitted to the relevant commission, the minister and commission members have seven days to review the matter.\u201d If the commission deems the minister\u2019s responses unsatisfactory, the case will proceed to a full parliamentary session, where Hemmati will have ten days to defend himself.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\"><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/Iran?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#Iran<\/a>&#39;s Currency and Gold Prices Surge Amid Escalating Tensions with the West<a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/0REyGIQsCt\">https:\/\/t.co\/0REyGIQsCt<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; NCRI-FAC (@iran_policy) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/iran_policy\/status\/1888546919107961218?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">February 9, 2025<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The impeachment petition, signed by 89 lawmakers, was confirmed by Ahmad Naderi, another member of the Parliament\u2019s Presidium. \u201cThe impeachment of Abdolnaser Hemmati, the Economy Minister, has been submitted to the Economic Commission with 89 signatures,\u201d <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/Ahmadnaderi_ir\/status\/1889191515458564535\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Naderi announced on X<\/a>. This move is widely seen as an attempt by extremist factions to consolidate their grip on power while shifting blame for the regime\u2019s economic failures.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Despite the significant number of signatories, many MPs question the timing of the impeachment. An editorial <a href=\"https:\/\/irannewspaper.ir\/8676\/3\/114062\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">published in Iran Newspaper<\/a>\u00a0argued that \u201cmoving toward impeachment only months after the administration\u2019s formation is premature\u201d and could further destabilize an already collapsing economy. The author further noted that \u201cin the middle of an economic war exacerbated by Trump\u2019s policies against Iran, the removal of the economy minister would only worsen financial chaos.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Some legislators also emphasize the separation of responsibilities between the Economy Ministry and the Central Bank. \u201cUnder the 2023 Law on Strengthening the Duties of the Central Bank, inflation control, currency stability, and exchange rate management are within the Central Bank\u2019s domain, not the Economy Ministry\u2019s,\u201d a parliamentary source told Iran Newspaper. Nevertheless, critics argue that Hemmati bears responsibility for the currency crisis, which continues to cripple Iranian livelihoods.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Key Infighting Events in Iran\u2019s Regime (2024)<br \/>July: Raisi\u2019s death and Pezeshkian\u2019s appointment as president ignited factional rivalries<br \/>Aug-Dec: Cabinet vetting and budget debates became battlegrounds<br \/>Dec: Mandatory hijab enforcement divided factions, with clerics demanding\u2026 <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/zD2czqJblP\">pic.twitter.com\/zD2czqJblP<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; NCRI-FAC (@iran_policy) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/iran_policy\/status\/1874565527768535455?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">January 1, 2025<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Political analysts believe these recent moves are part of a broader power struggle within Iran\u2019s ruling elite.

However, the issue of the Central Bank and the Economy Ministry remains unresolved.\u201d He added that lawmakers are demanding \u201csubstantial economic reforms\u201d as a condition to withdraw the impeachment motion, though few believe these demands are anything but a smokescreen for factional power grabs at a turbulent time.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Iranian officials have repeatedly downplayed the speculation, with the administration asserting its commitment to stability. In a recent statement, the government reiterated, \u201cThere is no plan to replace the Central Bank governor, and any such claims are baseless.\u201d However, the growing infighting, coupled with the regime\u2019s inability to manage economic turmoil, suggests a system in deep distress.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\" data-pm-slice=\"1 1 []\">As economic instability deepens and factional disputes intensify, regime officials continue to use scapegoats to deflect blame and mask the failure of the entire ruling establishment.
