In this photo taken on Dec. 2, 2009, then Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, center, waves to his well-wishers from his car during a public welcoming ceremony for him upon his arrival in Isfahan, 400 kilometers (240 miles) south of Tehran, Iran. Ahmadinejad has launched a political campaign ahead of parliamentary elections in February 2016 in what could prove a challenge to the moderates behind a landmark nuclear agreement reached last month.
