Ahmadinejad seeks second presidential term

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.
