Iran's Presidential Candidate Karroubi Faces Challenge From Reformers and Conservatives
 

Dubbed the "Reform Sheikh", former parliamentary speaker Mehdi Karrubi comes to this year's presidential election with a mix of clerical and liberal credentials that should make him almost the ideal candidate.

 

Yet in reality Karroubi's prospects look dim.

But he insists he is not going to drop out of the election race.
