Former Foreign Minister Manouchehr Mottaki and Iran's Foreign Ministry Spokesman Ramin Mehmanparast have registered in Iran's presidential election race.
Mottaki is affiliated with the principlist Coalition of Five.
He had previously said that Iran's biggest challenges are soaring inflation and unemployment.
Mottaki, who served as foreign minister under President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's administration from 2005 to 2010, added that he has serious plans to address those challenges.
The Coalition of Five also includes vice speakers of Iran's Majlis, Mohammad-Reza Bahonar and Mohammad-Hassan Aboutorabifard, head of Tehran Chamber of Commerce Yahya Al-e Eshaq as well as former Interior Minister and current head of the General Inspection Office of Iran, Mostafa Pourmohammadi.
