Tehran, May 19, The Iran Project - Referring to the rumors of cabinet shakeup, Government Spokesman, Mohammad Bagher Nobakht, said in a weekly press conference on Tuesday that replacing ministers and governor generals is never on the government�s agenda, Tasnim news agency reported.

Mohammad Bagher Nobakht denied the claims about the administrative changes, calling them groundless.
