FILE- Former Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad gives an interview to The Associated Press at his office in Tehran on April 15, 2017. Iran's hard-line former President Ahmadinejad registered Sunday, June 2, 2024, as a possible candidate for the presidential election, seeking to regain the country's top political position after a helicopter crash killed the nation's president.
Associated Press journalists in Tehran saw Ahmadinejad arrive at the Interior Ministry and begin the registration process. Before his arrival, his supporters chanted and waved Iranian flags. Abroad, he became a caricature of Western perceptions of the Islamic Republic’s worst attribute, questioning the Holocaust, insisting Iran had no gay or lesbian citizens and hinting Iran could build a nuclear weapon if it chose to do so.
