Spurred by Iran's supreme leader, Iran's parliament has backed off plans to bring president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad before the body for questioning about the faltering economy.

"Up to this point, the plan to question the president has been positive because of the sense of responsibility of parliament and the readiness of government officials," said Grand Ayatolla Ali Khamenei, according to the Mehr news agency. "But if this issue goes any further, it will be what the enemies want, and so I ask the honorable representatives not to continue with it."
