Speaking of Iran, the presidential election is a month away.
And guess who just signed up to run ? Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.
It's quite a big deal because Supreme Leader specifically asked him not to run a few months ago as it'll divide the country and is against the benefit of the regime, but he did it anyways. He's been very rebellious lately and heavily mocked and criticized the Supreme Leader in a rally a few weeks ago ( "One man who thinks he knows better than 80 million people."
Whether he will get passed by the "Security Council" to actually participate in election is another story....but Ahmadinejad as president in current geo-political climate...well, that'd be unpredictable.
For those who've forgotten some of his stances from his 8 year presidential tenure (2005-13)
