Minister Ali Kurdon, a high ranking minister in the Iranian theocratic government was dismissed by the parliment by a 188 to 45 vote. Ali was charged with dishonesty, after it surfaced that he lied about a fake honorary diploma from Oxford. This looks poorly upon President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad who is up for reelection in just eight month. This dismissal coincides with Iran's inflated economey, and falling oil prices. Things aren't looking up for the Incumbent President who is said to be becoming more unpopular by the day in Iran.
