In response to the arrest of several of his associates, Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad warned that arresting government ministers would cross a red line.
The arrests came against the backdrop of the rift between Ahmadinejad and Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei.
Ahmadinejad added that he would not respond to the moves against him due to his desire to preserve Iran's unity.
