Iran's former reformist president Mohammad Khatami attends a ceremony organized by his party, a group of pro-reform clerics, in Tehran, Iran, to announce he'll challenge hard-line President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad in the country's 2009 presidential elections. Many reformists are expected to sit out the 2013 elections in a silent protest over the crackdowns that have left them leaderless and demoralized. Others unwilling to boycott the election are rallying around a last-ditch call for help to Khatami, who is seen increasingly as their only credible hope at the ballot box.
