Iran presidency faces domestic opposition

Mahmoud Ahmadinejad was sworn in to a second term as Iran's president Aug. 5, greeted by protests in the streets and snubs inside Iran's parliament.

The oath-taking ceremony proceeded despite claims of massive fraud in the June 12 elections and have moved Iran into a new phase: A weakened leadership facing a wider opposition that includes powerful clerics and internal splits among conservatives.

"We have now a crisis of authority, where the president and the supreme leader are not able to make big decisions including about the nuclear program and engagement with the U.S.," said Mehdi Khalaji, a senior fellow at The Washington Institute for Near East Policy. (AP)
