Iran Veep nomination bid for moderates?

Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad’s nomiation for his first vice president at first looks like classic nepotism — his son’s father-in-law. I assume that makes him the old man’s brother-in-law.

But, Esfandiar Rahim Mashai has in the past said Iranians are Israel’s friends, and in both Turkey and Iranian capital Tehran, attended Muslim religious events where women were involved.

I can’t see the nomination as anything else but a blatant play for more moderate supporters.
