Wide of market \u003cbr/\u003eIranian President, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, arrived home late on Tuesday to face unprecedented criticism of his Latin American trip, economic policy and fiery nuclear rhetoric.\u003cbr/\u003eMore than 40 Iranian Members of Parliament have signed a letter publicly blaming Ahmadinejad for rising inflation and high unemployment in Iran. \u003cbr/\u003eSome question his decision to leave the country at a time of growing tension.\u003cbr/\u003eConservatives and reformists are also openly challenging his hard-line nuclear tactics, with many saying his provocative remarks are doing more harm than good.\u003cbr/\u003eThe criticism comes after the United Nations Security Council imposed sanctions on Iran last month for refusing to halt uranium enrichment. \u003cbr/\u003eAhmadinejad's popularity was already weakened after his close allies suffered a humiliating defeat last month in local elections, which were widely seen as a referendum on his 18 months in power.\u003cbr/\u003eEsmaeil Gerami Moghaddam, a reformist lawmaker who was among those to sign the letter, said that the people who voted for Ahmadinejad in 2005 were losing hope.\u003cbr/\u003e\"If he fails to carry out his plans appropriately, the whole country will be harmed,\" Moghaddam said.\u003cbr/\u003eIn London, an Iran analyst for the research group Global Insight said there were no accurate figures on inflation and unemployment, but both were believed to be in double figures.\u003cbr/\u003e\"The President came in on this pledge that he would start reducing unemployment and he would bring down inflation and the very fact that these criticisms are being made suggest that the economic situation is actually worsening under his leadership,\" Mohammed Shakeel said.\u003cbr/\u003eRecent editorials in Tehran's newspapers have also questioned Mr Ahmadinejad's hard-line nuclear tactics.\u003cbr/\u003eShakeel said the criticism appeared to have the tacit approval of the country's Supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. \u003cbr/\u003e\"It's just a question of how far out on a limb the President is willing to go in order for the international community to clamp down on Iran, and there is no-one within Iran, especially not the Supreme leader who wants Iran isolated to that extent,\" he said.\u003cbr/\u003eIn his presidential campaign in 2005, Ahmadinejad promised to bring oil wealth to the table of every Iranian. \u003cbr/\u003eBut in Tehran many were instead feeling the pinch of rising prices.\u003cbr/\u003e\"No one listens to what we are trying to say, they only pay lip service, we want them to do something about it (the inflation and high prices),\" said Tehran resident Maryam Hosseinian.\u003cbr/\u003eHassan Moradi, a jobless labourer, implored the government to do more to tackle the major problem of unemployment.\u003cbr/\u003e\"We are always here from six in the morning, but can't find any job until eleven. What should we do? The government must help us,\" Moradi said.\u003cbr/\u003e\"In the past two months I have only worked 20 days and was jobless the rest of it. This is the biggest problem of my life,\" he added.\u003cbr/\u003eAhmadinejad travelled to Latin America to meet anti-US leaders. \u003cbr/\u003eIt was his second such visit in four months.\u003cbr/\u003eCritics say the trip was partly aimed at diverting attention from disapproval over his diplomacy at home.\u003cbr/\u003eDespite the criticism, the hard-line leader has remained defiant, sharply escalating Tehran's standoff with the United States and its allies over Iran's controversial nuclear activities. \u003cbr/\u003eHe has repeatedly refused to suspend enrichment, even as its trade allies including China have requested Tehran respond to international demands, and has given the topic top priority in numerous speeches over the past month during provincial visits.\u003cbr/\u003e\u003c/span\u003e\n\u003c/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class='action-container flex justify-between'\u003e\n\u003cbutton aria-expanded='false' aria-label='Read more description'
