Iranian president to address nation

Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, whose re-election last month spurred massive protests, plans a televised speech Tuesday night to discuss domestic and foreign issues. Iran’s Fars news agency said the speech will be carried on one of the state-run television networks. The speech will follow a call from Iran’s three top reformist leaders for an end to the “security atmosphere” in the country, referring to what they say is the government’s heavy-handed response to those protesting the results of last month’s presidential election.
