Three Iranian ministers are facing potential impeachment proceedings, according to a member of Iran's parliament, who also dismissed the recent impeachment of the economy minister as politically motivated.

"A group is seeking to impeach reformist ministers in the cabinet, including Labor Minister Ahmad Meydari, Health Minister Mohammad-Reza Zafarghandi, and Culture Minister Reza Salehi Amiri," said Abdolreza Sepahvand on Thursday.

Sepahvand criticized the impeachment of the economy minister, saying that "the issue of the exchange rate and the dollar was a deception" and driven by personal motived related to appointments.

He also accused certain political groups of being unwilling to compromise with the government.

Last week, President Masoud Pezeshkian's Economy Minister Abdolnaser Hemmati was impeached by Parliament while Vice President for Strategic Affairs Javad Zarif was forced to resign.
