After media speculation about a possible return to politics, former President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has rejected the idea for now.
“I do not intend to enter politics,” Ahmadinejad said among a crowd of supporters in Mashhad last week. “I will not break my current silence,” he said, but added, “This silence does not mean passivity.”
