Iran’s former firebrand president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad will run again for office in upcoming elections in June, raising the possibility of a bolstered hardline leadership at a time of tense negotiations with the West.

Thronged by shouting supporters, Mr Ahmadinejad marched to a registration centre at the Interior Ministry where he filled out registration forms.
