Iranian lawmakers have voted to impeach Minister of Industry, Mines and Trade Reza Fatemi Amin over his poor performance.
The country is under a financial crisis because of international sanctions and rising inflation.
Reza Fatemi Amin failed to gain enough support in a vote of confidence that saw 162 MPs vote in favour of his removal and 102 against it.
The development took place due to the rising price of domestically manufactured vehicles after foreign imports dried up because of sanctions.
