	Mohammad Khatami - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Khatami won largely due to the female and youth vote, who voted for him because he promised to improve the status of women and respond to the demands of the young generation in Iran.
		Khatami is regarded as Iran's first reformist president, since the focus of his campaign was on the rule of law, democracy and the inclusion of all Iranians in the political decision-making process.
		Khatami's father, the late Ayatollah Ruhollah Khatami, was a high ranking clergy and the Friday Prayers Imam in the city of Yazd in the early years of the Islamic Revolution.

	A second chance
		Syed Mohammed Khatami, who was re-elected for a second four-year term as President in elections held on June 8 has one last chance to save the Islamic Republic.
		Khatami and his associates appear to be the last die-hards who believe that the theocratic regime can be so reformed as to fulfil the aspirations of the Iranian people.
		Unless Khatami can make the clerics of the status quo understand the reality of the situation, there is almost certainly going to be a calamity before the silver jubilee of the Revolution.

		Khatami, who wept openly when he reluctantly announced his candidacy in May, beat even the most optimistic forecasts to romp home with 21.66 million of the 28.16 million votes, 76.9 per cent, surpassing the 70 per cent he polled when he was the surprise winner against conservative candidates in the 1997 election.
		These forces perceive the reforms Khatami espouses as a threat to the grip on power they have held since the 1979 Islamic revolution and to the religious and revolutionary values they have clung to and imposed on the nation of 62 million throughout that turbulent time.
		Khatami’s aides say the policy priorities now are overhauling the judiciary, which is answerable to Khamenei, and economic reform, which if introduced would seriously weaken the establishment’s virtual monopoly on power and which the mullahs would resist mightily.

		Khatami could not afford a foreign policy failure in Berlin, an Asian diplomat noted, because Germany is an important economic partner and Europe's main exporter to Iran.
		The election of Khatami, three years ago and the appointment of a new cabinet has since meant that most of the high officials specifically implicated in the 1997 judgment have been replaced, apart from Supreme Leader Khamenei himself.
