/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Iran’s President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad will run for
president again in June
Ahmadinejad’s rivals on June 12 could include moderate politician
Mohammad Khatami, whose presidency from 1997 to 2005 was marked by
improving ties with the West that have since deteriorated.
Analysts say Ahmadinejad’s prospects may largely depend on retaining
the support of Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, Iran’s top
authority who has often publicly praised the president and whose
views influence millions of loyalists, Reuters reports.
