A three-story building in a quiet one-way alley in northern Tehran is the headquarters of an unlikely campaign that opposes both the administration of President Hassan Rouhani and many of the Islamic Republic's establishment figures.
The Velenjak building is the base of activities for former PresidentMahmoud Ahmadinejad, who has his offices on its third floor.
Ahmadinejad has been relatively quiet since the ascendance of the moderate Rouhani, but the Iranian Labor News Agency (ILNA) is only one ofmany outlets that have reportedon his desire to make a comeback.
According to Amir Mohebbian, a leading political analyst, Ahmadinejad's attempt toreturn to poweris obvious as he "quietly awaits favorable conditions and occasionally tests the waters."
