Iran officials to drop resignation threat - source
TEHRAN (Reuters) - Government officials are likely to drop their threats to resign after Iran's Supreme Leader moved to defuse a political row over parliamentary elections, a senior government source said on Thursday.
"To avoid tension in the country, those who have threatened to quit will drop their resignation threats," said the official, who was one of at least 16 members of President Mohammad Khatami's cabinet who had said this week they would step down.
