Khatami Won’t Run After All

Posted by Nicholas Guariglia On March - 16 - 2009

Khatami has dropped out of Iran’s “elections” in June.  Link here.

Mohammad Khatami said last month that he would run in June, ending weeks of speculation, the state-run IRNA news agency reported February 8.

But he now says he will instead support moderate candidate Mir Hossein Moussavi, Fars reported Monday.

Moussavi is a former prime minister. Before Khatami declared his candidacy last month, he had said either he or Moussavi would run as the reformist candidate to challenge Ahmadinejad, a hardliner.

Khatami said he will soon make an official statement regarding his withdrawal.
