Azerbaijan, Baku, Apr.22/ Trend D.Khatinoglu/
Iranian president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad threatened his critics with unveiling their corruption, saying that if he reveals some dossiers, some people will loose their position in public opinion.
According to Mehr News Agency, Ahmadinejad said during a meeting with people in Khuzestan province on April 22 that some authorities are threatening him, saying "you shoud not talk about corruption cases and prevent them".
"People elected me in order to defend their rights, to divide national wealth among them, to bring justice and fight aganist finantional coprruption", he said.
Ahmadinejad also appealed to his critics, saying the following "you are nobody and cannot decide on behalf of people".
The next presidential elections in Iran are planned to be held on June 14, 2013.
The voters will select the successor of the current President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, who is not able to participate in the elections for the third term according to the country's constitutional laws.
Iranian president supports the head of his administration Rahim Mashaei who is also the
father-in-law of Ahmadinejad's son.
Some representatives of the ruling Conservative Coalition accused Mashei on fighting with Islamic rules, publishing deviant ideas and transgressing the commandments of Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamanei. They also criticize Ahmadinejad government for weak administration and financial achievements.
Ahmadinejad threatened his critics despite the facts that Iran's national currency dropped by 40 percent in value, the economy faced a 0.9-percent contraction and inflation rate grew to above 31.5 percent during last solar year, which ended on March 19.
Before, Ahmadinejad threatened to unveil "some corruptionist's dossiers", including ex-president Hashemi Rafsanjani, advisor to Iran's supreme leader Ali Akbar Nategh-Nouri and others. Several months ago Ahmadinejad also accused the parliament speaker's family of corruption, released a hidden audio record of a corruption-related conversation between his brother and dismissed head of Iran's social security organization Saeed Mortazavi who was supported by the President Ahmadinejad in parliament.
According to the latest Corruption Perceptions Index by the Transparency International watchdog, Iran ranked 133rd of 176 countries in 2012 alongside Russia, Kazakhstan and Honduras.
According to the report, about two thirds of the world's countries suffer from corruption.
