(Updated at 1410 PST)
TEHRAN: Iran's reformist government has threatened to resign amid denunciations Tuesday of a hard-line panel's disqualification of candidates for next month's elections who are allied with the reformist president.

In a deepening of the nation's political crisis, the official News Agency quoted Vice President Mohammad Sattarifar as saying that if the government feels that
it can't fulfill its responsibilities in protecting legitimate freedoms, such as defending the rights of the nation for a free and fair elections, then it does not believe that there is any reason to stay in power.

The statement is the strongest yet indicating President Mohammad Khatami's government may be willing to resign if it cannot ensurefree elections. However, Iran's supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, has promised to intervene if the crisis is not resolved soon.
