Former Iranian president Mohammed Khatami reportedly announced on Monday his withdrawal from the country's presidential election in June.

Reuters quoted a close Khatami ally as saying, "He has decided to withdraw ... but he will back another moderate candidate who will be announced shortly in a statement."

No reason was given for the decision to withdraw from the presidential race.
