An impeachment motion targeting Iran's foreign minister, Araghchi, has been registered with the Iranian parliament, according to a report from TASS.
The procedure was initiated by Amir-Hossein Sabeti, a member of parliament representing Tehran, the report said, though it did not specify the grounds cited for the impeachment motion or detail the formal process that would follow its registration.
Impeachment motions against senior Iranian officials, including cabinet ministers, go through a formal parliamentary process that can ultimately result in a confidence vote, though registering a motion does not guarantee that such a vote will take place or succeed.
The report did not indicate whether other lawmakers have expressed support for the motion, nor did it include any response from Araghchi or the foreign ministry regarding the move.
Iran's parliament has periodically used impeachment and interpellation procedures against ministers in recent years, reflecting ongoing tensions between different political factions over government policy and performance.
