TEHRAN, Iran — A newly appointed governor in northern Iran has been dismissed after officials asked for guidance from God through divination, according to a media report Saturday.
The semi-official Mehr news agency said the interior minister had appointed Ali Babaei Karnami governor of Sari last month but that he was dismissed Tuesday as a formal ceremony was being organized for him to take up the position.
“Since divination showed a bad result, we preferred to look for another choice,” the news agency quoted Provincial Governor Ali Akbar Tahaei as saying.
