Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, Iran's former president disqualified from the last elections, has fueled speculation about his potential candidacy in the early polls after President Ebrahim Raisi's death.
The holding of early presidential elections following the death of Raisi in a helicopter crash has increased speculation about the possibility of former President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's candidacy.
The Guardian Council disqualified Ahmadinejad's candidacy in the previous presidential elections.
Recently, he released a film about himself, announcing his intent to "serve the people and the country."
"Whenever I can do something to serve the people, the country, ideals, and human values, I will definitely not hesitate, but all aspects must be weighed," he said.
Ahmadinejad said he is "investigating" whether to run while insisting any decision will prioritize the nation's interests.
He added, "Ultimately, the conditions of the country, both domestically and globally, are special conditions, and I only consider the interests of the people and the country. I am currently investigating. You should also pray for what is best for the people and the country to happen and that this little servant can make the best decision for the benefit of the country."
He indicated that he is studying the conditions to decide whether to register as a presidential candidate.
