His presidency was marked by confrontational rhetoric toward the West and escalating tensions over Iran\u2019s nuclear program.<\/p>\n<p>Born in 1956 in the village of Aradan in Semnan Province, he moved to Tehran with his family as a child. Before becoming president, he served as governor of Ardabil Province and later as mayor of Tehran.<\/p>\n<p>In 2013, after leaving office, he was appointed by Iran\u2019s supreme leader to the Expediency Council, an advisory body that mediates disputes between parliament and the Guardian Council.
