Stranger and stranger. Cabinet ministers fired, the number of ministeries reduced. Accusations of sorcery, jinns (genies). But as Yassamine Mather writes: ...however, for all the references to supernatural beings, the conflict has its roots in a good, old-fashioned power struggle between, on the one side, landed old money, senior ayatollahs and their periphery and, on the other, what they call tazeh bedoran ressideh ha (the nouveaux riches or new rich) in the Ahmadinejad camp.
