In two month, Iranians go to the polls.

Riz Khan’s guest tonight is a man who some may view as the person who could change Iran’s relationship with the West.

Mohammad Khatami, the former Iranian president, who is running for re-election after a four-year gap, is seen as a reformist.

His views on relations with the West are in stark contract to that of the current president, the conservative Mahmoud Ahmedinejad.

Iranians go to the polls in June. If Khatami wins, and with Obama now in the White House, there may be an opportunity for a change in relations between the US and Iran.

Tonight at 20:30GMT (and repeated at 00:30 GMT, 05:30GMT and 11:30GMT on Tuesday), Riz Khan talk to Mohammad Khatami about his country’s relations with the West, national elections this summer, the controversy surrounding Iran’s nuclear programme and Iran-Israel relations.
