The US ambassador to Iraq has told Shia leaders that the US government does not want Ibrahim Jaafari to remain prime minister, senior Shia politicians say.
Zalmay Khalilzad said President George W Bush "doesn't want, doesn't support, doesn't accept" the retention of Mr Jaafari, Rida Jawad al-Takki said.
Mr Jaafari's spokesman accused the US of trying to subvert Iraqi sovereignty.
The Shia United Iraqi Alliance chose Mr Jaafari as its candidate in February after winning December's election.
