Iranian media reports former President Mohammad Khatami
has announced he will run in the June presidential elections.
Today's announcement ends weeks of speculation.
Khatami is considered a reformist
and overwhelmingly won the presidency in 1997
but he couldn't bring about religious and democratic freedoms
because of strong opposition
from the country's religious establishment.
Khatami was succeeded
by current President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad four years ago.
