 The top candidates probably are Saeed Jalili and Mohammad Bakr Khalibaf. Khalibaf's name surfaced early on. He's Speaker of the Iranian Parliament, strong government and military ties. He has run without success before. Jalili, a former Iranian nuclear negotiator, known even among conservatives for his strong anti-Western views. Former Interior Minister Mustafa Pourmohammadi is also running. That's NPR's Peter Kenyon, who's been following the race from Istanbul.
