	Mohammad Khatami - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

		Khatami's father, the late Ayatollah Ruhollah Khatami, was a high ranking cleric and the Khateeb (the one who delivers the sermon for Friday prayers)in the city of Yazd in the early years of the Islamic Revolution.

		In a nationwide radio and televised address, Khatami said despite the fact that hundreds of candidates had been rejected by the Council of the Guardians (the highest decision-making body in Iran), there was still an opportunity for people to choose the candidates of their choice.
		What dismayed many of Khatami's supporters, particularly students and a few political organisations, is that he did not oppose the fact that all but 167 out of the 400 candidates were dismissed as "ineligible" by the Council of the Guardians, a 12-member watchdog body appointed by Khamenei.
		Khatami also distanced himself from boycott calls by urging an "enthusiastic presence of the people" in the elections, and firmly reiterated his full backing for both Ayatollah Khamenei as the "illustrious and wise" leader of the country, and the concept of velayat el-faqih, a contentious issue to a growing segment of the population.

	MAJLES REBELS AGAINST KHATAMI
		The “rebellion” against Khatami was triggered by the humiliating defeat the reformists were dealt by Iranian voters in the last city and rural elections, where a large majority of the voters refused to go to the polls, and those who went, elected independent candidates close or supported by the ruling conservatives.

		The attempts of the reformist parliament to stop the judiciary's clampdown on the press is an instructive illustration of the uneven relationship between Mr Khatami and Mr Khamenei.

		Mr Khatami's insistence that he and the reformists must be realistic and patient about the speed of change may mean that the backing the president receives in June's election will be much reduced compared to 1997.
