Do iranian people agree with their president?

we will never know.  the iranian government is one of many (too many) that pretty much says what its citizens will believe.  they have no alternative.  oh there is the occasional protest, but nothing like what we enjoy in america (i am assuming that you are in america too).  So even if they do not agree with their president, they have no real opportunity to do anything about it.\n\nps- i'm sorry, i just read the part about you only wanting opinions from iranians.  hope it's ok if i just leave this here...

Because Iranian Mullahs believe that organising society along literal religious lines (in this case Muslim) is more important that democracy.  \n\nDemocracy is often directly contradictory to religious teaching.  It is hardly surprising that people who have been taught to believe in a literal concept of eternal heaven and hell don't care whether they are given a vote to elect a leader who will have very little impact on their very difficult standard of living.  \n\nThey are too busy surviving and trying to live their lives in a way that ensures they spend eternity in the Muslim version of heaven.

Iran is a theocracy. Their religious leaders are also their political leaders. Although the people themselves are very westerniazed, their leaders are not which leads to a lot of discontent within the people. They are about 10 years away from having a working nuclear program, but are a nuclear threat. Don't know what else you want to know without you asking specifics, but that was some random stuff.

I am an American citizen that DID vote for Bush. As far as most Americans are concerned, Iranian citizens need to get THEIR leaders to calm down and TALK. We understand you are very devoted to your faith, but not EVERYONE wishes to live in that kind of society. This is a BIG world and we ALL need to live here. How about showing us why some call Islam the "Religion Of Peace". PLEASE?

Khatami was a moderate and tried to get Iran to be more normal.  The current leader, President Ahmadinejad is an extremist that will lead his country into a lot of problems.  He has made comments that threatens to make the Middle East even more unstable than what it is right now.  Iran is moving forward with development of nuclear power.  Officially the want nuclear power to generate electricity, but they have a very large oil supply.  Hmmm... what do you think they want nuclear power for?

With the current Iranian government no. The current leader of Iran, President Mahmud AHMADI-NEJAD has called for Israel to be wiped of the face of the earth. If he had nuclear weapons this madman would pull the trigger.

I work with a nice Iranian girl. She's awesome, cute, (married!!!), funny... actually she's hilarious.\n\nOh, I know another one. He's a shopkeeper. He makes me laugh also but he gets very serious when we discuss politics. He's very well informed and reads a lot. We have very interesting conversations.\n\nI guess I like people from Iran. The ones I've met are good people.

He ranked 130th in the nationwide university entrance exams, and entered Iran University of Science and Technology (IUST) as an undergraduate student of civil engineering in 1976. He continued his studies in the same university, entering the Master of Science program for civil engineering in 1984, the year he joined the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (see below), and in 1987 received his Ph.D in traffic and transportation engineering and planning.

hello David\n\nI feel that you want to be liked and accepted as an Iranian citizen and as a person. You want to prove that your country is wonderful, modern and  peaceful. Also that your religion is peace loving and accepting of other views.   Right now there is a war, and people are very prejudiced.   Take it easy, go with the flow and enjoy the experience of YA.\nYou are very young, 2 years older than my own son.  Life is so long and filled with twists and turns.  Who knows what will happen in the future?\n\ngood luck, take it easy and \nDios te bendiga

Iran was a U.S. ally until the Islamic Revolution in 1979.  When they deposed the Shah of Iran and his wife from power we gave them sancuary in the U.S.  As a result students stormed the U.S. Embassy and held the entire staff 40 some people hostage for 444 days before releasing them.  We supported Saddam's Iraq in the war between Iran and Iraq that lasted for 7 years, however we did sell some arms to Iran during the Reagan Presidency thus causing the Iran -Contra Scandal.  The Iranian people have what is close to an Islamic state and are currently thumbing their nose at the worlds nations questions about their Nuclear Program. They are saying if the Nations insist on Arms Inspectors to be allowed access to what they are doing, then they will not allow them in and go full force into the project.  Their current President is also sponsoring a conference to discuss the myth that we call the Holocust.\n\n1) From the above stated I believe that the Iranian people have what they are calling a democracy, in which the people have very little say.\n\n2) From the above stated I believe that the Iranian government is led by those that are more than a few bricks shy of a full load.

I think it's important to remember that Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, has no significant power in creating the country's policies.  \n\nThe President of Iran is democraticaly elected, but can only run for election if approved by a twelve member panel called the Guardian Council.  \nThe members of the Guardian Council are appointed by a Supreme Leader, a religious official.  \nBesides nominating presidential candidates, the Guardian Coucil also approves candidates to the Assembly of Experts.  The Assembly are religious leaders, or mujtahids.  They are responsible for supervising and electing the Supreme Leader.  \n\nThe President of Iran has some power to influence foreign policy, but not on the level of the American president.  His position would be analogous to the US Secretary of State.  He is the representative of Iran's people, their voice to the rest of the world, not the leader of their government.
