In this undated photo, former Iranian president Mohammad Khatami watches a video on his laptop in his office in Tehran, Iran. Many reformists are expected to sit out the June 14 voting 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.
