Iranian lawmakers vote to sack finance minister

Iran's parliament sacked the country's Finance Minister after initiating impeachment proceedings over his handling of high inflation and a plummeting currency.

Economy and Finance Minister Abdolnaser Hemmati lost a vote of confidence, with 182 of 273 parliamentarians present at the impeachment session voting against him. Lawmakers took turns angrily censuring Hemmati, blaming him for Iran's economic woes.
