TEHRAN - Iran's parliament approved on Thursday 18 ministers and rejected three in President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's proposed new 21-member cabinet following his disputed re-election in June, state radio reported.

Ahmadinejad, who had four of his first-choice nominees rejected by the assembly in 2005, has three months to propose new candidates to replace those voted down by the 290-seat parliament.

Despite the rejection of three ministers, the cabinet can still start working and Ahmadinejad has scheduled its first meeting for Sunday, state radio said.
