Mahmoud Ahmadinejad says his replacement as Iranian president has already been chosen by God, a local website reported Saturday. "Friends told me, 'We are concerned about the future,'" Ahmadinejad said in a meeting with council heads in Tehran. "I told them, 'The future has already been determined. Go to work and the results will come.'

"One of them asked me, 'Who will be next?' I said, 'Don't you think God knows who's next.'"
Ahmadinejad did not name anyone specific, but according to Iranian estimates he was implying that he wants his associate Esfandiar Rahim Mashai to replace him. Mashai served as Ahmadinejad's deputy in the past, before being fired for saying that the Iranian people are friends of Israel.
